About Asto CT

Asto CT provides weight-bearing fan-beam computed tomography (CT) for equine patients, enabling high-resolution imaging of the distal limb and head and neck without the need for general anesthesia. This technology allows for rapid scans in under 30 seconds, minimizing stress and risk for horses while improving diagnostic accuracy for veterinarians.
