Nuclear bone scan

A

Involves the radioactive substance injected into the bloodstream from their travels into the bones and is detected by special camera. It can show bone infection if fracture that is not clearly seen on x-ray arthritis and primary or metastatic cancer.

A

Use radioactive glucose that is injected into the blood stream and a scanner that makes a computerized picture of body parts where the glucose is being used. Cancer cells can use more glucose and normal cells and can be detected by the scan.
