Sienna Myson Davies I use Equiscan regularly for routine checks to make sure I can maintain my horses at their optimum performance level. Equiscan has also helped us to detect problem areas and allow us to treat them before they become a serious injury.

Screening Service

We offer a unique DITI service to horse owners, vets, trainers and equine professionals. We only use MHRA approved medical screening devices that are designed specifically for veterinary & medical testing. We can provide you with accurate and objective results that will assist diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.

Our service is 100% safe, completely non-invasive and we come to you. Screening tests can take between 15 minutes to an hour depending on what information is needed and involves a non-contact examination using a medical DITI system.

Detecting Lameness

Lower limb and foot problems can be difficult to diagnose and treat and DITI can help with both. Accurate and early diagnosis while injuries and diseases are still in the sub-clinical (before lameness) stage provides for better treatment options and a better outcome (either prevention or earlier return to training / competition). Once lameness has occurred finding the source of the issues and providing the correct treatment is top priority. Equiscan DITI can help to detect intermittent or non-specific lameness whether it's neurological or musculoskeletal. Conditions such as: early stage pedal osteitis, navicular disease, foot abscess, laminitis and many more can be evaluated with Equiscan DITI.

Equine Thermography

Equine thermography better know as DITI (Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging) is a non-invasive diagnostic test of physiology that has evolved over the last 20 years. DITI has been recognised as a useful tool in the early identification of musculoskeletal and neurological injuries, especially non-specific (and difficult to diagnose) lameness. The ability to detect inflammatory and neurological processes at an early stage can be critical to evaluation and recovery. DITI is unique in its ability to show physiological abnormalities and can graphically display and record subjective feeling of pain by objectively displaying changes in the skins surface temperature that accompanies a state of pain.

Derek Shaw Racing

"Equiscan has been an invaluable tool in identifying problems with the horses at an affordable cost, whereby such horses may have finished their racing careers without fully knowing what the problems were. Working alongside our fantastic Physio Sune du Toit it has helped us identify problems with certain horses which have been treated and sorted out. We will continue to use DITI scanning as part of our training regime".

Many thanks for your excellent service
