| Standing computed tomography arrives in Southern California at San Luis Rey Equine Hospital.
San Luis Rey Equine Hospital adds computed tomography (CT, or “cat scan”) to their advanced diagnostic imaging capabilities. The hospital in San Diego County’s Bonsall is currently one of two clinics in North America successfully performing standing CT scans of the equine skull. This includes visualization of the brain, sinuses, nasal cavities and teeth, all without the superimposition, which greatly hampers standard radiography. With the installation design at SLREH, imaging of the skull is possible without the need for general anesthesia.

| Mission, accountability and unshakable goals are keys to successful New Year’s resolution.
by Robin Martinez
With the New Year ahead, many people will be making resolutions about diet and exercise. Most of these resolutions will fizzle, not because those making them didn’t really want them to happen but because either their expectations are unrealistic (like believing that exercise is the best way to lose weight) or because they don’t have a structure in place that will support them as they make these new ideas a permanent part of their daily life.
