Qalibra CT

What Qalibra CT does

Qalibra CT is a privately held veterinary medical imaging company that designs and sells specialized CT systems for equine and small animal practices. The core product is a patented, height-adjustable, multi-directionally moving gantry platform integrated with high-end helical CT scanners ranging from 32 to 640 slice detectors, enabling standing CT scans of horses without general anesthesia and ground-level imaging of small animals without sedation. The platform is supported by 80+ image algorithms for sub-millimeter bone and soft tissue imaging, ECG-gating and bolus tracking adapted from human medicine, and lead shielding that reduces scatter radiation below that of a single X-ray. Founded by veterinarians, Qalibra holds patents on the gantry platform and on CT systems configured for veterinary use.

Qalibra sells complete imaging systems directly to veterinary hospitals, specialty equine clinics, and university teaching hospitals through an enterprise field sales model, with installation and training integrated into the sale. The product line spans the Qalibra CT System (32-640 slice configurations) and a Movable CT Room variant for flexible siting. The company serves named customers across Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium, and the United States (Florida, Indiana), including Pferdeklinik Parsdorf, University Tierspital Zürich, Tierklinik Lüsche, Højgård Hestehospital, Pferdeklinik Großwallstadt, Ocala Equine Hospital, Purdue University, Dierenkliniek De Bosdreef, and Equine Clinic Telgte. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of high-value capital equipment.

The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no institutional investors identified in the source data. Headcount is approximately 8 employees and the go-to-market is supported by industry conferences, an annual CT Summit user meeting, and organic social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube). Domestic incorporation is US-based based on the qalibra.us domain and US toll-free contact number.

Products and services

• Qalibra CT System A veterinary-specific CT imaging system pairing a patented height-adjustable, multi-directionally moving gantry platform with high-end helical CT scanners (32 to 640 slice detectors). Enables standing CT scans of horses without general anesthesia for head, neck, and distal limbs, and ground-level imaging of small animals without sedation. Delivers sub-millimeter resolution with 80+ image algorithms, 0.5mm thin slices, ECG-gating, bolus tracking, dose modulation, and lead shielding that reduces scatter radiation below a single X-ray exposure. Sold to equine veterinary hospitals, small animal practices, and university veterinary teaching hospitals.
• Movable CT Room A movable or relocatable CT room configuration of the Qalibra CT System that allows the gantry to be positioned at ground level through a customized pit. Enables imaging of the equine pelvis, back, thoracic cavity, and caudal neck, and supports simplified small animal imaging without sedation. Sold as a configuration option to veterinary facilities installing the Qalibra CT System.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens Healthineers: Siemens is one of the leading human-medicine CT manufacturers whose hardware Qalibra reconfigures. As a broad incumbent, Siemens could leverage its installed base and R&D to compete directly in veterinary CT.
• GE HealthCare: GE HealthCare supplies high-end human CT systems and is one of the potential hardware sources for veterinary-adapted systems. It represents the same broad incumbent threat as a manufacturer that could target veterinary imaging directly.
• Canon Medical Systems: Canon Medical is another major human-medicine CT OEM whose technology is suitable for veterinary reconfiguration. As an incumbent CT manufacturer, it competes indirectly with Qalibra via the supply ecosystem.
• Sound Technologies (Heska / IDEXX): Sound, now part of IDEXX after Heska, is a broad incumbent in veterinary imaging equipment (ultrasound, DR, CT). It addresses the same veterinary hospital buyer as Qalibra but across a much wider imaging portfolio.

Emerging players

• Asteris: Asteris provides veterinary-specific PACS, imaging software, and integration solutions used alongside CT hardware. It is comparable as an adjacent veterinary imaging technology provider enabling the same diagnostic workflows.
• Oncovision (CareMiBrain) / Planmed: Planmed and similar niche imaging OEMs develop specialized CT/3D imaging systems that occasionally enter veterinary and equine applications. They overlap with Qalibra as alternative sources of advanced imaging hardware for animal care.

Regional players

• Equine Diagnostics Ltd. / Vet-CT: Vet-CT and similar equine teleradiology/imaging service providers address the same equine veterinary customer as Qalibra but via interpretation services and shared imaging capacity rather than hardware sales.

Direct peers

• Universal Medical Systems / Universal Imaging: Universal Imaging sells refurbished and adapted CT/MRI systems for veterinary use, including equine applications. It is the most direct alternative to Qalibra for veterinary hospitals purchasing advanced CT hardware.
• Epica Medical Innovations: Epica produces veterinary CT, MRI, and imaging systems (notably the Vimago and Pegaso platforms) for companion animal and equine practices. It overlaps with Qalibra in delivering advanced CT to veterinary specialty hospitals.
• Hallmarq Veterinary Imaging: Hallmarq is the leading vendor of standing MRI for equine practice and competes in the same advanced-imaging-for-horses category as Qalibra. Both target the same equine specialty hospital buyer and aim to reduce reliance on general anesthesia for imaging.
