The new Qalibra Exceed Equine CT Scanner revolutionises equine imaging and treatment options

The Qalibra CT scanner enables the scanning of regions of the body that were previously not possible. This enhances the visualisation of equine disease processes, aiding earlier diagnosis and treatment to improve prognosis.

Our advanced scanner uses a fan beam CT (Canon Aquilion Large Bore Exceed) mounted on a custom platform. This allows the RVC Equine team to examine the head and upper part of the neck in a standing sedated horse.
This helps to diagnose teeth and sinus problems as well as support further evaluation of horses who sustain trauma to their head or show signs of headshaking. Additionally, the team can image the limbs of the horse up to and including the carpus (knee) and tarsus (hock). This can be beneficial when diagnosing causes of lameness, due to issues with both the bone and soft tissues.
