Product catalog summary
Introduction
Hallmarq's Standing Equine MRI (sMRI) system offers a revolutionary approach to diagnosing lameness in horses, providing early, safe, and accurate results without the need for general anesthesia. This system is designed to enhance equine clinical practice by offering advanced diagnostic capabilities on an outpatient basis.
Benefits of Standing Equine MRI
The sMRI system allows for immediate and definitive diagnosis in over 90% of cases, even in difficult-to-image areas like the foot. This leads to targeted treatment plans, reduced recovery times, and minimized risk of further injury. The system has been widely adopted, with over 70,000 horses scanned and installations in 23 countries.
Cost-Effectiveness
Hallmarq offers a pay-as-you-go model, making advanced imaging accessible to private clinics. This model supports building referral business and generating revenue from subsequent treatments. The initial investment is competitive, potentially lower than a digital radiography system.
Technical Specifications
Modular Unit: The modular unit requires minimal initial capital outlay and can be installed on any hard surface. It is fully weatherproof, air-conditioned, and RF shielded, suitable for standing MRI only.
Standard Room: Alternatively, the sMRI system can be installed in a dedicated room, allowing for scans under general anesthesia if needed. This setup requires an RF screened room with specific dimensions and air conditioning to maintain optimal conditions.
Conclusion
Hallmarq's Standing Equine MRI system provides a comprehensive solution for equine lameness diagnosis, combining advanced technology with cost-effective options for veterinary practices. The system's design prioritizes safety and efficiency, ensuring high-quality imaging and diagnostic accuracy.
