We operate a state-of-the-art multi-modal imaging service for the rapid and effective diagnosis of our patients, including digital radiography, ultrasound, MRI, CT and scintigraphy, videoendoscopy, overground endoscopy and gastroscopy.
For many years we have been at the forefront of equine diagnostic imaging research and development, including recent work on the detection of pre-fracture injuries of the fetlock joint in racehorses, and stress injuries of the upper cannon region and knee using MRI.
We operate a multi-disciplinary approach, where our imaging team works in close collaboration with the primary clinician or surgeon to acquire and evaluate the diagnostic images in conjunction with the findings of the clinical examination. In more complex cases, more than one type of imaging may be required to enable an accurate diagnosis and aid planning for surgery or treatment, as appropriate.
In more complex cases, more than one type of imaging may be required to enable an accurate diagnosis and aid planning for surgery or treatment, as appropriate. Our services include:
- Radiography and ultrasound
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Computed tomography (CT)
- Scintigraphy (Bone scanning)
- Full range of endoscopy services, including overground endoscopy, videoendoscopy and gastroscopy
- Teleradiology service for referring veterinary surgeons and other referral centres, with detailed and prompt reports
As all images are acquired and stored digitally, these can be transferred easily to referring vets and horse owners in digital or printed format. We additionally offer an image reading service for veterinary surgeons. We are happy to discuss with horse owners and their vet what type of imaging scan is indicated for individual cases.
