A new equine imaging tool which transforms the way equine vets can diagnose and treat complex lameness cases has been launched.Hallmarq Veterinary Imagings new iNAV software builds on established correctionsoftware techniques to track real time movement in the limb and corrects for motion artefact (movement) when processing the images.These two techniques enable the software to produce much clearer images, particularly in the proximal limb which previously was hard to scan, and allow vets to diagnose conditions with greater accuracy and confidence.Our commitment to innovation ensures thatstanding MRI continues to evolve, with iNAV setting a new standard in whats possible in veterinary diagnostics, said Annie Makin, chief commercial officer at Hallmarq.Where previously scans may have been non-diagnostic due to patient movement, iNAV delivers transformational results to drive better patient care.Case studyDonnington Grove Equine Vets in Berkshire used iNAV to obtain an accurate diagnosis of a horse which had sustainedan avulsion fracture a bone fracture which occurs when a fragment of bone tears away from the main mass of bone of the right forelimb proximal suspensory origin six months prior to referral.Despite following a rehabilitation programme, the condition had failed to fully resolve and lameness persisted.By using iNAV, Donnington Grove Equine Vets were able to obtaina more detailed evaluation of the affected region and identified fluid signal within the suspensory ligament which was a sign of ongoing inflammation.This knowledge allowed the team to create a new rehabilitation plan. The horse showed huge progress at its next MRI three months later.Exhibiting at BEVAFor us, the addition of iNAV should reassure referring vets that sending more proximal limb cases to their nearest Hallmarq MRI system will pay dividends, continued Annie.The higher limb is notoriously difficult to image and motion can prove a problem. iNAV significantly reduces the impact of limb movement during image acquisition, helping to maintain diagnostic integrity.Hallmarq Veterinary Imaging will showcase these new advancements at the BEVA Congress which takes place at the ICC in Birmingham from Wednesday 10 Saturday 13 September.Image HallmarqVeterinary Imaging.Related contentEquine vet practice invests in new technology to aid diagnosis of CushingsLaminitis in horses: all about this common and extremely painful hoof diseaseHow to get a horse to eat their pergolide tabletVet nurse explains what insulin resistance is in horses and poniesThe post Transformational equine imaging tool which will quicker diagnose complex lameness casesis launched appeared first on Your Horse.
