DESCRIPTION:Most horses that require veterinary care have issues related t
 o 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 the
 ir 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 referr
 al practices in over 25 countries. Dr Steve Roberts is the technical direc
 tor at Hallmarq and will discuss the creation and development of this uniq
 ue scanner and the potential future advances and applications.    \n \n \n
