## About

Founded in 2015 and based in Wisconsin, US, Asto CT, Inc. specializes in developing diagnostic imaging technology designed for animal healthcare. In January 2025, Asto CT, Inc. raised USD 35.48 million in series C funding led by investors Artiman Ventures and SV Tech Ventures. The firm as of January 2025, is led by its co-founders, David L. Ergun (CEO) and Thomas Rock Mackie (Chairman).

The company specializes in advanced diagnostic imaging solutions for equine healthcare, with its flagship product being the Asto CT Equina® Standing CT Scanner. This scanner offers high-resolution, multi-slice computed tomography (CT) images while allowing horses to remain in a natural standing position, thus eliminating the need for general anesthesia. The Equina scanner features fan-beam technology that captures detailed images of both bone and soft tissue in limb pairs up to the carpus or tarsus, facilitating early detection of subtle stress responses and a variety of pathologies. The device is designed for veterinary practices, equine clinics, and sports medicine facilities, with a client base across the US and growing markets in the UK and Europe. 

Asto CT operates on a subscription model that allows veterinary clinics to install the Equina scanner while retaining all generated revenue from its use. Transactions involve direct partnerships with equine medical centers and veterinary clinics, where facilities pay subscription fees for access to the Equina scanner and its associated services.

The company plans to utilize the January 2025 funding to design and launch new products aimed at improving equine diagnostics.
