Hallmarq unveils equine imaging tool

A veterinary imaging company is set to unveil new technology that could transform equine diagnosis and treatment.

Hallmarq Veterinary Imaging will showcase its latest iNAV software at the BEVA Congress, in Birmingham, this September. 

The innovation builds on the company’s established motion correction techniques, delivering sharper MRI scans even in challenging areas such as the proximal limb.

By tracking real-time movement more closely and correcting motion artefacts during image processing, iNAV produces clearer, more clinically reliable scans. 

The result is greater diagnostic accuracy and faster treatment planning for vets working with complex lameness cases.

Bosses at Hallmarq, which is known for developing advanced MRI and CT solutions tailored specifically for veterinary use, say iNAV marks another step in its commitment to driving progress in animal healthcare.

Annie Makin, chief commercial officer at Hallmarq, said: “Our commitment to innovation ensures that standing MRI continues to evolve, with iNAV setting a new standard in what’s possible in veterinary diagnostics.

“Where previously scans may have been non-diagnostic due to patient movement, iNAV delivers transformational results to drive better patient care.

“For us, the addition of iNAV should reassure referring vets that sending more proximal limb cases to their nearest Hallmarq MRI system will pay dividends.

“The higher limb is notoriously difficult to image and motion can prove a problem. 

“iNAV significantly reduces the impact of limb movement during image acquisition, helping to maintain diagnostic integrity.”

Holly Johnson, equine clinical product manager for Hallmarq, added: “Whether managing subtle lameness, complex soft tissue injuries or ambiguous cases where traditional scans fall short, iNAV’s enhanced motion correction helps unlock answers that might otherwise remain elusive.

“We hope this will reassure equine vets across the country their nearest referral centres have the specialist knowledge and equipment to help deliver better outcomes for them and their patients.”
