New CT scanner for horses

Penn Vet has a new CT scanner for horses. There is no tube, the horse does not need anesthesia, and the horse is standing during the scan.

Robotic scan for horses could hold promise for human health
Robotic CT at the University of Pennsylvania's veterinary school allows a horse to remain awake and standing as the scanners two mechanical arms move around it. The resulting high-quality images, including some in 3D, for the first time offer detailed anatomical views of an animal in its normal, upright state.
