EQUINE SCINTIGRAPHY Links & Resources

The use of Equine Nuclear Imaging has grown both at the university level and in private clinics in the 25 years since Diagnostic Services Inc started supplying systems to the marketplace. As the use of this equine medical diagnostic equipment has evolved there has been more information published and websites established to help veterinary practitioners make better use of the technology.

We will be posting links to sites and information related to equine nuclear imaging and bone scanning here. Feel free to bookmark or return to this page from time to time to take advantage of equine veterinary resources.

American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP). Ranging from animal welfare to uniform medication rules for racing, the AAEP stands as a solid source of information for the entire equine industry.
