Forest Veterinary Centre acquire CT scanner
Toshiba Medical Systems account manager Colin Pellow, veterinary nurse Sophie Dennis, practice partner Glenn Bengtson, veterinary nurse Natalie Bennie and practice partner Clive Swainsbury.
Independent veterinary practice Forest Veterinary Centre in Epping, Essex, has invested in a Toshiba Aquilion Lightning 16-slice CT scanner. The practice specialises in small animal work and extended its premises with a custom built facility to accommodate the CT system. It also has a low field MRI scanner on site.
Practice partner Clive Swainsbury said: “We were considering a secondhand CT solution, but after seeing the advantages of Toshiba’s SEMAR software we wanted a new CT system and the Aquilion Lightning was the obvious choice. We looked at acquiring a CT scanner about five years ago, but at that time we had a power supply problem. Toshiba was very helpful then, although at the time we didn’t purchase a system. We recently revisited our decision and during the acquisition again found Toshiba supportive in all respects.”
