We offer a comprehensive imaging service and are currently the only hospital in the UK (and indeed one of only three in the world) that offer all imaging modalities available to horses, including radiography, equine ultrasound, scintigraphy, Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (for standing horses).

All of the imaging equipment at the equine hospital is state-of-the art and housed in a purpose built-facility. We have a dedicated team of imaging experts that perform and review all imaging studies and work in collaboration with the primary clinician to evaluate the diagnostic images in light of the clinical findings. Similar to top human hospitals, this ensures a double-scrutiny system that enhances diagnostic accuracy and allows us to optimise treatment and improve outcome. 

All images are acquired and stored digitally which enables the prompt transfer of studies and reports either in form of print-outs or in digital format to referring vets and owners.

The RVC diagnostic imaging team prides itself to be at the forefront of clinical research in the field of diagnostic imaging, which allows us to provide the best service possible based on scientific evidence. We delighted to host visiting equine clinicians and to open our doors to the equestrian community for everybody to observe our work. Please contact the equine hospital for more information.

New in 2019 : The brand new custom-designed equine computed tomography (CT) table and a commercial Big Bore scanner make it possible to image the entire neck and stifles in horses.The RVC Equine CT scanner is 10 cm wider than a standard CT, allowing us to image the entire cervical spine, often up to the level of the thoracic vertebrae and the limb up to and including the stifle.
