A range of referral client options.
Nuclear scintigraphy is typically used to help diagnose lameness cases where the signs are vague, subtle or there is a multitude of simultaneous problems. However, it can also be useful in diagnosing other diseases such as dental disease or certain neurological conditions.
We accept bone scan referrals as outpatient cases unless otherwise requested, meaning that the horse is scanned and the images are forwarded directly to the referring vet to interpret.
A range of options are available for referral client; from a full body scan, specific regions and abbreviated scans.
Please Note
Due to the use of the radioactive agent we require the horse to stay in the clinic for 48 hours following the scan to ensure the horse is no longer radioactive.
Scans we offer
Standard Scan
Combination of four regions e.g. hind limbs, back, pelvis, neck.
Full body scan
A full body scan to help detect injuries before a horse shows signs of pain or limping
Abbreviated scan
E.g. racehorse with a suspected tibial stress fracture.
