The Equina Standing CT Scanner is the first of its kind to be installed in Australia.

​

Racing Victoria commissioned the University of Melbourne to arrange for the installation of the scanner at their Werribee Equine Centre.

​

The scanner was required to detect lameness and stress fractures in legs of horses competing in the Spring racing carnival

​

Manufactured in the USA the work program required Merat Architects to undertake detailed and regular communication with the supply company.

​

After a tight program of design and construction (10 weeks) the scanner arrived and was installed and commissioned with no changes necessary to the building works.
