Bone Scan Quality Articles

Bone scan is a procedure that is implemented to check whether there is rapidly dividing cells such as tumor cells in bone. For this technique a very small amount of radioactive material is injected into a vein and travels through the blood. The radioactive material collects in bones where cancer cells have spread. And these tumor cells are detected by a scanner.Bone scan is a nuclear imaging test that helps diagnose and track several types of bone disease. Bone scan is also an important tool to detect cancer that has spread (metastase) to the bone from the original location of the tumor, such as the breast or prostate. The ability to scan the entire skeleton makes bone scanning very helpful in diagnosing a wide range of bone disorders. Bone imaging can be done through X-rays, MRIs, etc.
