Asto Equine Standing CT
At Pioneer, we use one of the most advanced computed tomography (CT) scanners, the Asto Equina Standing CT. With this unit we are able to do scans of the head, neck, and limbs up to the knee and hock STANDING! Standing CT’s can be done during a normal appointment time frame; however, if the patient needs to be anesthetized they will require a longer stay. Preliminary results of the CT are available immediately. Final results of the scan will be available after review by a surgeon or independent radiologist.
Head
From dental and sinus disease to fractures, standing a fast and detailed standing CT of the head can provide us all of the information needed to make the best treatment plan.
Neck

Limbs
Standing CT imaging of the limbs is a huge game changer for lameness diagnostics. In 60-90 seconds, we can get 360 degree x-ray imaging of the limbs from the foot to above the knee and hock.
