Abstract

A scintillation detector assembly capable of providing the range of movement and flexibility needed for the investigation and diagnosis of equine‐related health problems was required for the nuclear medicine facility of the Equine Research Centre, Guelph, Ontario. The planning, technique and modifications used to mount the gamma detector and yoke assembly are detailed herein. The system has been successfully used for the nuclear scans in horses, and demonstrates the practicality, safety and usefulness of equipment adaptation for large animal imaging.
