About Asto CT
§ Asto CT was founded in 2015 as a result of a research collaboration between
the UW-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine (Peter Muir) and Morgridge
Institute for Research (Rock Mackie)
§ The company has pioneered robotics in combination with CT scanning to
provide new imaging indications
§ Our patented approach allows for imaging of a standing sedated horse, or
small animals on a mobile gurney
§ The first mission is to improve diagnosis and treatment of conditions of the
distal limb and diseases of head & neck in horses
