✨Safety Meets Precision in Equine Imaging with Asto CT's Equina sCT 🐴

Read more here➡️ https://obi41.nl/2p8k98np

Advancements in standing computed tomography (sCT) are revolutionizing equine healthcare. A new study out of the University of Wisconsin-Madison confirms that personnel exposure to scatter radiation during sCT scans is well within safe limits when using proper protective measures—thanks in part to the Equina system's innovative design.

This research underscores how standing CT ensures clearer imaging of complex structures like the equine head and limbs, enhancing diagnoses and treatment planning while maintaining safety for handlers and operators. Highlights include:
✅ Lower radiation exposure due to advanced fan-beam technology
✅ Imaging in a natural weight-bearing position, reducing motion artifacts
✅ Clear protocols to keep personnel safe, even during frequent use

With the Equina system, operators can scan up to 1,500 horses before reaching safe radiation thresholds—a game-changer for busy equine clinics!

🌍 The global medical imaging community mourns the loss of Dr. Willi Kalender, a visionary medical physicist whose groundbreaking contributions reshaped our field. Dr. Kalender, who passed on October 21 at the age of 75, laid the foundation for the advancements that Asto CT represents today.

His pioneering work on spiral (helical) CT, which allows continuous rotation of the scanner while the patient is moved through the x-ray fan beam, has transformed diagnostic imaging. Through his innovative dose-reduction techniques, Dr. Kalender elevated both imaging quality and patient safety, leaving a lasting impact on countless lives. His legacy will continue to guide and inspire our work.
