Most horses that require veterinary care have issues related to lameness. The “gold standard” for imaging soft tissue is an MRI scan, but MRI can be expensive and horses have to be anaesthetised to fit their legs into human scanners. 15 years ago Hallmarq Veterinary Imaging Ltd started development on the world’s first (and only) standing equine MRI scanner. Today, these scanners are used at universities and equine referral practices in over 25 countries. Dr Steve Roberts is the technical director at Hallmarq and will discuss the creation and development of this unique scanner and the potential future advances and applications.
