The Diagnostic Centre provides unrivalled medical, neonatal and surgical facilities which are housed in state of the art examination rooms, surgeries, video-endoscopic and ultrasonic suites, MRI and CT imaging suites. The magnetic resource imaging (MRI) unit creates a strong magnetic field and radio waves which produce detailed computer images, typically of soft tissue and bone structures within the foot. Similarly, the computed tomography (CT) unit provides high quality images of the skull, nasal passages, sinus cavities, cervical vertebrate, etc. The MRI and CT units, both the first in the world of equine veterinary, allow non-intrusive investigations and diagnosis to be performed with minimal stress to the animal.
The associated mechanical and electrical services have been designed to complement the stringent technical requirements of the Diagnostic Centre, with many of the specialist areas dictating "close control" in terms of room temperature, humidity, air filtration, etc. In this respect the installed services provide a hospital / laboratory type environment with an inherent robustness to the equipment compatible with the size of animals being treated.
