Whether you’re dealing with chronic joint pain, an unexplained injury, or monitoring the spread of disease, our bone scan services are designed for speed, accuracy, and compassionate care.

What Is a Bone Scan?

A bone scan is a nuclear medicine imaging test that highlights changes in bone activity. Unlike standard X-rays, a bone scan detects early signs of abnormalities by using a small amount of radioactive material (radiotracer) that travels through the bloodstream and is absorbed by the bones. Areas of high or abnormal activity—called “hot spots”—can indicate injury, inflammation, or disease.
Common conditions evaluated with a bone scan include:

• Bone fractures (especially hidden or stress fractures)

   

• Bone infections (osteomyelitis)

   

• Arthritis and inflammatory joint diseases

   

• Bone tumors or cancers that have spread (metastasis)

   

• Unexplained bone pain or injury

   

• Bone healing and response to treatment

What to Expect During Your Bone Scan

A bone scan typically involves two steps:

1. Radiotracer Injection – A small, safe amount of radioactive tracer is injected into a vein. This tracer takes 2–4 hours to accumulate in the bones.

    

2. Imaging – You’ll lie comfortably on a scanning table while the gamma camera moves around you to take images. The scan is painless and usually takes about 30–60 minutes.

    

In some cases, additional delayed or three-phase imaging may be required depending on your condition. Our team will explain each step and answer any questions you may have.
