One of the world’s leading veterinary imaging specialists will unveil the latest advancement to its cutting-edge motion correction software at a top industry congress in Birmingham this month.

Hallmarq Veterinary Imaging, a global provider of advanced MRI and CT solutions designed specifically for veterinary practice, will present its new iNAV software at the BEVA Congress, held at the ICC from 10 to 13 September.

Part of an ongoing commitment to innovation

Developed as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation, iNAV is transforming the way equine vets diagnose and treat complex lameness cases. The technology enables clearer, more clinically diagnostic MRI scans – particularly of the notoriously difficult proximal limb – by minimising motion artefacts caused by patient movement.

Building on Hallmarq’s established motion correction techniques, iNAV tracks real-time limb movement even more closely and corrects for motion artefact during image processing. This improves image quality, giving vets greater confidence in their diagnosis and allowing quicker treatment plans.

“Setting a new standard”

Annie Makin, Chief Commercial Officer at Hallmarq, said: “Our commitment to innovation ensures that standing MRI continues to evolve, with iNAV setting a new standard in what’s possible in veterinary diagnostics. Where previously scans may have been non-diagnostic due to patient movement, iNAV delivers transformational results to drive better patient care.”

She added: “For us, the addition of iNAV should reassure referring vets that sending more proximal limb cases to their nearest Hallmarq MRI system will pay dividends. The higher limb is notoriously difficult to image and motion can prove a problem. iNAV significantly reduces the impact of limb movement during image acquisition, helping to maintain diagnostic integrity.”

Unlocking answers   

Holly Johnson, Equine Clinical Product Manager at Hallmarq, said: “Whether managing subtle lameness, complex soft tissue injuries or ambiguous cases where traditional scans fall short, iNAV’s enhanced motion correction helps unlock answers that might otherwise remain elusive. We hope this will reassure equine vets across the country their nearest referral centres have the specialist knowledge and equipment to help deliver better outcomes for them and their patients.”

Hallmarq will be exhibiting at stand B38 throughout BEVA Congress.
