Hallmarq Conducts 40,000th Standing MRI Scan

French Showjumper Helps Veterinary Imaging Company Reach Milestones 

ACTON, Mass. (December 9, 2013) - Hallmarq Veterinary Imaging continues to see success
with its Standing Equine MRI machine as the company recently recorded its 40,000th scan. The
record-breaking scan helps demonstrate that more and more veterinarians are using Hallmarq’s
Standing Equine MRI machine as a diagnostic tool for managing lameness in horses.

Selle Francais gelding R., an eight-year-old showjumper was scanned as part of a re-examination
at the Clinique Equine de Livet in the French commune of Saint-Michel-de-Livet earlier this
year. Having previously been treated for injuries in the front feet, the horse’s owner was eager
to return R. to a full training schedule. The veterinarian ordered a scan in order to determine if R.
was ready to return to competition.

The 40,000th standing Equine MRI scan not only marked a pinnacle achievement for Hallmarq
Veterinary Imaging but also indicated that R.’s rehabilitation had helped heal his injuries.

“Hallmarq’s Standing Equine MRI machine really offers veterinarians an easy, reliable and clear
diagnostic tool that provides the veterinarian much needed information and does not put a horse
at risk by requiring general anesthesia,” says Dan Brown, BVSc, MRCVS, business development
director at Hallmarq. “Our system is safer for the horse and easier for the veterinarian.”

Standing Equine MRI is quickly becoming the standard for diagnosing lameness problems in
horses, offering a diagnostic rate equal to that of High Field MRI under anesthesia, but with none
of the health risks, including possible death, associated with it. As such, it has fast emerged as
the preferred method of both European and North American veterinarians.
