10 years ago today, we performed the first equine PET @ucdavisvetmed It was academic curiosity at the time, but now with 12 active scanners, thousands of horses have been imaged and more to come. What a great adventure! @equinepet @Grayson_JC @ucdavis_ceh
🗣️ "...that's why the PET scan has been such a game changer for us at Santa Anita. It could show the initial stages of a training injury like this." Straight No Chaser (Speightster) is on the comeback trail for trainer @dan_blacker. @SteveSherackTDN thoroughbreddailynews.com/straight-no-ch…
Equine PET, one of the top advances that will shape the future of veterinary medicine. @equinepet
PET is not just for racehorses! PET is also helpful in the fetlock of sport horses. The distribution of uptake is different from racehorses and the intensity of the uptake is associated with the clinical status. @ucdavisvetmed Read more: @EVJltd beva.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

How PET provides insights on the pathophysiology of condylar fractures in racehorses and may help with prevention. Our latest research on PET in racehorses. @ucdavisvetmed @ucdavis_ceh @equinepet @santaanitapark doi.org/10.1111/vsu.14…
“The thing with the PET scan, it takes away the guess work. That's the one thing I want to get across to people in racing,” Blacker said. “It gives you a clear-cut answer to the question of whether you can keep racing or not.” Well said @dan_blacker thoroughbreddailynews.com/screen-scan-sa…
Very interesting study out of Australia exploring relationships between training strategies and injuries in Thoroughbred racehorses.

Various questions have been asked about equine PET recently. For the most accurate information, I would recommend viewing this presentation from the 2022 Thoroughbred Safety Summit at Keeneland. Updates to come shortly. @Grayson_JC @ucdavisvetmed youtube.com/watch?v=wXswez…
Learn more about all the research done to improve racehorse safety at UC Davis in this short video with our Dean. @equinepet @Grayson_JC
Proud and pleased to have been able to contribute to this important goal. Thanks for the collaboration and support @equinepet @Grayson_JC @ucdavis_ceh @santaanitapark @GGFracing
18F-FDG PET has a lot of potential for both research and clinical applications in laminitis. Great baseline work presented here by the @NewBoltonCenter team. Looking forward to more to come.
