The scintigraphy scans are carried out in several phases spread out over a day, because not all areas of the horse’s body can be examined simultaneously. This is because of the physical causes of the radiation behaviour. The results gathered throughout the test day are collated in the evening after the completion of the scans and made available to the treating veterinarian the following day. The results of the scans can then be discussed with you personally by phone or by appointment. During this discussion, decisions will be made regarding further investigative steps after the quarantine period has elapsed.
