How safe is Hallmarq equine MRI for horses?
Hallmarq equine MRI systems have been used for almost 10000 standing sedated horse examinations on 34 sites in 10 countries. During this time there have been no fatalities. Had general anesthesia been necessary over 100 of these would have died as a result of the normal approximately 1-3% mortality rate following general anesthesia. Hallmarq firmly believes that the standing MRI product has revolutionised the diagnosis and treatment of lameness by making MRI safe, affordable, and widely accessible to veterinarians and horse owners and has made a significant contribution to equine health and welfare.
