Purpose
A bone scan is a procedure to produce digital or film images for detailed analysis. A specialized scanner reveals the small amounts of infused radioactive material that move through the bloodstream and collect in the bones, especially in abnormal areas.
Bone scans are used for the detection and monitoring of bone disorders, including Paget's disease, cancer, infections, and fractures. Bone scanning is also useful in assessing joint diseases.
NB: Patients Must Bring Old X-Rays and scans for all procedures!
