Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an exciting and relatively new diagnostic imaging technique which allows us for the first time to image soft tissue structures such as tendons, ligaments and cartilage within the equine foot.

Scintigraphy (bone scanning) is a diagnostic imaging technique which is very sensitive to changes in bone turn-over.

We have a dedicated radiography suite with a gantry-mounted Siemens Gigantos x-ray machine and AGFA computed radiography system which enables us to take extremely detailed, high-quality radiographs of the appendicular skeleton, thorax, head and neck.
