Nuclear Medicines
Nuclear medicine, also known as nuclear or bone scintigraphy, entails the administration of a radiopharmaceutical that binds to bone preferentially in areas of damage or where active bone growth is occurring. This modality, when combined with diagnostic analgesia and lameness assessment, is crucial for determining the reason of lameness.

Nuclear medicine is a distinct imaging modality that falls under the diagnostic imaging category. By employing this approach, we are able to inject or orally deliver a radioactive material (radionuclide), examine the activity within the body, and provide both morphologic (form and structure) and functional information.
