PRLog -- Colorado State University and Epica International Inc. launched the "first-ever"
equine-specific, computed tomographic scanner. The University will soon house the Pegaso, a quantum leap in diagnostic, interventional, and intraoperative imaging. Because of the logistics of a horse’s size, it has been a constant struggle for equine veteri-narians to obtain quality CT images utilizing machines originally designed for human medicine. The new device will allow equine vet-erinarians to perform a CT scan of a standing horse’s head and neck up to the C7 vertebrae and any anatomy of an anesthetized horse, including distal limbs. The fully robotic, high-definition CT scanner also includes large-field, high-resolution fluoroscopy and digital x-ray.
The unit features a resolution that is 1,481 times higher than standard CTs. The superior image quality will help practitioners to provide more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans.
