We are part of the large animal diagnostic imaging team at the Royal Veterinary College in London, which offers a world-class imaging service for horses and other large animals (including elephants).
Equine Diagnostic Imaging has a long tradition at the Royal Veterinary College, London. It was the first university to use a Gamma camera for animals and the first hospital in the UK to have a CT for horses. Today the Equine referral hospital has state-of the art equipment for imaging horses, including CT and MRI for standing as well as recumbent horses in additon to high-end radiography, scintigraphy and ultrasonography equipment.
The RVC also offers a service for scanning cadavers, fossils and pieces of art for research and media!
