Bone scintigraphy is a very sensitive diagnostic tool to detect elevated bone metabolism. In cases of fractures and fissure fractures, the radiopharmaceutical uptake in the bone is said to be increased within a few hours after the injury. In this retrospective study, the scintigraphic uptake characteristics at the fracture site of 36 horses with radiographically confirmed fractures or fissure fractures were evaluated. Uptake ratios between the fracture region and adjacent normal bone or soft tissue activity respectively were calculated and compared to different anamnestic and radiographic data. The overall sensitivity of bone scintigraphy was 94.4% (34 positive cases out of 36). In the 36 horses, no correlation between the age of the fracture and the radiopharmaceutical uptake was found. However, there seems to be a lack of sensitivity in early detection of equine pelvic fractures when a standing bone scintigraphy examination protocol is used.
骨闪烁扫描术是检测骨代谢升高的一种非常敏感的诊断工具。在骨折和裂隙骨折的情况下，据说受伤后数小时内骨内放射性药物摄取会增加。在这项回顾性研究中，对36匹经X射线证实有骨折或裂隙骨折的马的骨折部位的闪烁扫描摄取特征进行了评估。分别计算骨折区域与相邻正常骨或软组织活性之间的摄取率，并与不同的病史和X射线数据进行比较。骨闪烁扫描术的总体敏感性为94.4%（36例中有34例阳性）。在这36匹马中，未发现骨折年龄与放射性药物摄取之间存在相关性。然而，当使用站立位骨闪烁扫描检查方案时，马骨盆骨折的早期检测似乎缺乏敏感性。
