O-scan VET Magnetic Resonance Imaging

High imaging quality with low installation and operating costs

O-scan VET

APPLICATION

An innovative magnetic resonance imaging system from ESAOTE dedicated to the diagnostics of equine limbs

FOR WHICH EXAMINATIONS?

It is intended for diagnostics of the distal structures of the limbs in horses, including: tarsal joints, metacarpus, fetlock and carpus

PURCHASE ECONOMICS

The O-Scan Equine magnetic resonance imaging system is also supported by its low costs of installation, operation and servicing. No special rooms are required other than maintaining a constant temperature, and it does not require any frequency or magnetic shielding or non-standard power supply.

O-scan Equine

O-Scan VET is characterised by high imaging quality with low installation and operating costs. No additional power supply is needed.

The design of the O-Scan VET makes it economical and very simple. The O-Scan  Equine MRI system is an effective diagnostic tool that allows for precise differentiation of lesions within bones, cartilage, tendons and ligaments thanks to excellent image resolution and contrast, which provide the appropriate scan quality needed to make a correct diagnosis.

O-Scan VET requires a small installation area – the minimum required area is 9 m2, and thanks to its low weight it can be placed on any type of floor.

IMAGE QUALITY AS IN 1.5T SYSTEMS

Performance and image quality comparable to that of 1.5T systems. O-Scan Equine delivers high-quality diagnostic images at optimised costs.

EASY TO USE

An intuitive interface, very easy to use even for less advanced operators.

DEDICATED PROTOCOLS FOR VETERINARY MEDICINE

A wide range of pre-programmed protocols that are optimised for veterinary requirements and tested at research sites; it also offers the ability to create your own protocols according to specific clinical needs.

LOW OPERATING COST

Only energy costs (about the same as an average electric kettle)

Check the differences

Why an MRI dedicated to veterinary medicine and not an MRI originating from human diagnostic centres?

• Shorter examination time - Important due to the need to examine animals under anaesthesia
• Ease of operation – there is no need to employ specialised staff to operate the device
• Sequences factory-dedicated to veterinary applications – there is no need to spend time optimising and changing sequences from „human” to veterinary.
• Installation in small rooms, an excellent investment for small veterinary clinics.
• Device design adapted for easy positioning of animals

eXP Technology

Check the technologies available in O-scan Equine

• True Motion – enables real-time imaging of moving joints. The entire sequence can be saved in the popular .avi format, so the film can be played on almost any device.
• MAR Metal Artifact Reduction – software that enables the reduction of image artefacts originating from metal implants.
• 3D Viewer – An advanced viewer for 3D images created through acquisition using isotropic 3D sequences.
• 2D/3D Speed Up - Software that, using mathematical algorithms, allows for a reduction in image acquisition and reconstruction time, up to 30% in 2D mode and as much as 50% in 3D mode, compared to the standard imaging mode.
• Isotropic 3D – advanced imaging of three-dimensional isotropic sequences, which makes it possible to combine Speed Up technology, enabling fast acquisition of high-resolution 3D images, with advanced 3D image reconstruction techniques – MPR. During a single acquisition, you obtain the highest quality image in all three planes.
• 3D Sharc – A three-dimensional sequence dedicated to high-resolution imaging of cartilage tissue.
