Bone Scans
Taxonomy Code: LF-4800.1250
Programs in which a radioactive substance is intravenously injected to allow for the imaging of bone tissue with a scintillation camera as a means of detecting the presence of cancer, arthritis, fractures or other abnormalities. Radioactive gallium, which seeks out inflammatory tissue, may be used in testing for hidden bone infections. A uniform concentration or uptake of the radioactive material is normal; a high concentration in specific areas is indicative of abnormalities.
