Bone scanning is performed on over 100 horses per annum, usually as a part of a lameness examination, but also in some cases as a part of the evaluation of neurological or other conditions. We have a GE Medical Starport gamma camera mounted on an overhead gantry that permits imaging of the entire horse. The procedure is carried out under sedation. Horses undergoing this examination need to be hospitalised for at least 48 hours following injection with the radioactive drug. See Information about bone scanning.
