Diagnostic imaging plays a central role in the majority of cases seen in the 91°µÍø's Equine Referral Hospital.

We offer a comprehensive imaging including radiography, ultrasound, scintigraphy, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

All the imaging equipment at the equine hospital is state-of-the art and housed in a purpose built-facility. We have a dedicated team of imaging experts that perform and review all imaging studies and work in collaboration with our other specialists to evaluate the diagnostic images in light of the clinical findings. Similar to top human hospitals, this ensures a double-scrutiny system that enhances diagnostic accuracy and allows us to optimise treatment and improve outcome.

All images are acquired and stored digitally which enables the prompt transfer of studies and reports to referring vets and owners.

The 91°µÍø diagnostic imaging team prides itself to be at the forefront of clinical research in the field of diagnostic imaging, which allows us to provide the best service possible based on scientific evidence. We are delighted to host visiting equine clinicians and to open our doors to the equestrian community for everybody to observe our work. Please contact the equine hospital for more information.

Update: December 2024

We have installed a new Qalibra equine CT scanner. This machine uses a Canon fan beam CT scanner mounted on a custom platform, and it produces high quality images of the bone and soft tissues. Using standing sedation this machine is capable of imaging the head, cranial two thirds of the neck, as well as the limbs up to and including the tarsus and carpus. Due to its 90cm bore, under general anaesthesia it can image the cervico-thoracic junction, shoulder, sacroiliac joints and pelvis.
