Abstract
cases are discussed where nuclear scintigraphy has proved an invaluable diagnostic modality. Part 1 highlighted three examples pertaining to the sports horse. Part 2 documents three examples where scintigraphy has been used as part of a lameness work-up in the Thoroughbred (TB) racehorse. Often, it can be the only suitable diagnostic tool as: 1. The inappropriate use of local analgesia techniques can have the potential for catastrophic outcomes i.e. fractures. 2. Young Thoroughbreds can be dangerous to perform sequential diagnostic anaesthesia. 3. Multiple limb lameness is often present, confusing the results of diagnostic local anaesthesia tests.
