Introduction
Scintigraphy has high sensitivity for lesions in bone
Scintigraphy is commonly used in equine practice

Introduction
Radiation safety
The radiation dose from the horse has been claimed to be reduced after administration of frusemide.
No published data to support this.

Introduction
Pilot study at SLU, Uppsala 31 horses in two groups
3 measurepoints Measured at 2, 6 and 24
hours post injection No difference between groups
Present study with improved method at NVH, Oslo
More horses 1 measurepoint 2 and 24 hours post
injection

Results
Significant correlations:
1. Dose 99mTc-HDP and radiation dose Higher dose gives higher
radiation dose
2. Bodyweight and radiation dose Increased BW gives lower
radiation dose

Discussion
Claimed Advantages
Encourage urination
Improve image quality
Less radiation dose to personell
Claimed Disadvantages
Possible increased restlessness during
examination
Increases the risk of contamination by radioactive
urine

Conclusion
Dose 99mTc & Horse size matters
![Page 24: Will frusemide administered to horses prior to scintigraphic examinations reduce the radiation dose rate? Erichsen C*, Falck-Andersen H*, Lønning M*, Bjørnstad.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551aa560550346e0158b5b9b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Conclusion
For radiation safety reasons it should not be
recommended to administer frusemide to all
horses that undergo scintigraphy.
Administration of frusemide should only be
recommended when pelvic imaging is performed,
because of the increased risk of radioactive
contamination due to urination.
