Computer tomography (CT) is an imaging modality that similar to MRI produces images of the body in thin slices. In contrast to MRI the CT technology uses x-ray radiation.
In equine medicine, this procedure has so far mainly been used to examine the head, particularly for dental problems. In recent years, the examination of limbs or the cervical spine using this procedure has also become increasingly important.
While examinations of the head, parts of the cervical spine and the lower limbs (up to the carpal and tarsal joints) can often be carried out on a standing horse, CT examinations of the upper limbs and posterior sections of the spine require general anesthesia.
Our powerful CT scanner (Qalibra Exceed, equipped with an Aquilion Exceed from Canon Medical and AiCE artificial intelligence) with a particularly large opening (gantry) of 90 cm makes it possible to visualize previously inaccessible body regions such as the pelvis, shoulder region and other parts of the spine.
