• The horses can be measured in a standing position, so the anaesthesia that is often associated with stress can be avoided.
• The system can alternatively be used during an operation under general anaesthesia to deliver important images for surgical planning and execution to the surgeon.
• The measurements are performed on the phalanx and the metacarpals. The visualisation of those parts of the body that are mostly affected by injuries especially in racing horses supports a careful diagnosis.
