Nuclear bone scan


Recommended Posts

A nuclear bone scan is no big deal, many hospitals can do it..  They inject a very small amount of a radioactive  isotope in to you’re vein,  you then wait for a couple of hours,  go for coffee or lunch while it circulates through you’re body.. I’m not a medical person so this a layman’s description of how it works..  somehow the isotope collects In you’re bones, after couple of hours they scan you and get pictures of you’re bones..  When you’re all done they tell you to drink lots of water so that you pee out the isotope..   It’s an in and out procedure about 4 hours or less from start to finish.  Painless it’s just like having a scan  other then they give you an injection...
