Equine health | Sarah Andrew

Ocala-based Peterson Smith Equine Hospital recently completed a new CT wing to their facility, the healthcare provider said in a release early Thursday.

The project included comprehensive upgrades to the lobby and examination rooms, along with the construction of a cutting-edge standing surgery suite.

The new development includes the installation of the Qalibra Aquillion Exceed LB Computed Tomography (CT) system, which features industry-leading technology and a large (90cm) bore.

The advanced CT unit enables safe and efficient diagnostic imaging of patients undergoing standing sedation or general anesthesia. The enhanced imaging capabilities provide the hospital's veterinary team with critical information, ultimately improving equine patient outcomes.

“With access to these detailed three-dimensional images from the CT scan as part of our diagnostic process, we can confidently identify specific issues and plan surgeries and treatment more effectively,” said Dr. Faith Hughes.
