That way our students can be even more prepared for diverse veterinary careers.\u201d\r\n\r\nAdditional software for the scanner enables 3D reconstruction of the anatomy for surgical planning and research.\r\n\r\nWhile an animal is being scanned, clinicians, students or researchers in an adjacent room can view a 3D reconstruction.\r\n\r\nSituated in the Equine Health and Performance Centre, the scanner has an equine CT table which allows it to cater for animals up to one tonne in weight.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe closest available CT scanner that can be used with horses and other large animals is in Ballarat or Melbourne,\u201d Hein said.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe can now provide a comprehensive diagnostic service for the equine and animal production industries, as well as cats and dogs.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe scanner has the capability of providing a very fine \u2018slice\u2019 of 0.5mm thickness which delivers excellent image quality of fine structures, particularly for small animals.\r\n\r\nThe CT scanner was launched at a ceremony attended by representatives from research, the veterinary community and Toshiba, the scanner\u2019s manufacturer.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
