A nuclear medicine technique for creating images of bones on a computer screen or

A procedure to check for abnormal areas or damage in the bones. A very small amount of radioactive material is injected into a vein and travels through the blood. The radioactive material collects in [..]

An imaging test in which a radiotracer called technetium-99m is injected into a vein and travels to the bone where it is detected by a special camera.

A test done to check for signs of cancer in the bones. A small amount of radioactive material is injected into the bloodstream. It collects in the bones, especially abnormal areas, and is detected by [..]

A study used to identify lesions in bone such as fracture, infections, or tumor. A radioisotope is injected into a vein and allowed to circulate through the body. The distribution of radioactivity in [..]

A technique to create images of bones on a computer screen or on film. A small amount of radioactive material is injected into a blood vessel and travels through the bloodstream; it collects in the bo [..]

Photographic imagery of the distribution in the bones of a previously injected radioactive biological which is concentrated by pathological activity.

A nuclear medicine imaging method that gives important information about the bones, including the location of cancer that may have spread to the bones. It can be done as an outpatient procedure and is [..]

A test in which radioactive material is injected into a person's bloodstream to help produce images of bones; often used to detect cancer or bone diseases.

A picture of the bones using a radioactive dye that shows any injury, disease, or healing. This is a valuable test to determine if cancer has spread to the bone, if anticancer therapy has been success [..]

A bone scan is an imaging technique performed by injecting a small amount of radioactive marker (bone-seeking radionuclide) into an intravenous line. Three hours later, the patient is placed through a [..]

A test that detects increased or decreased bone metabolism which indicate fracture, tumors, or infections.

Radionuclide test usually performed in the radiology department. It can detect fractures, stress fractures, areas of infection in bone, abnormal bone growth, and bone cancer, and also spread of cancer [..]

A picture of the bones using a radioactive dye that shows any injury, disease, or healing. This is a valuable test to determine if cancer has spread to the bone, if anticancer therapy has been success [..]

Abbreviations: BS Definition: A technique to create images of bones on a computer screen or on film. A radiolabel material is injected into a blood vessel and travels through the bloodstream. It colle [..]

A nuclear medicine imaging study that utilizes a radioactive compound that is injected into a vein to identify areas of increased bone cell activity in the skeleton; used to screen for the presence of [..]

A test to help identify any abnormal changes, such as tumours, infection or fractures, in the bones.

A picture of the bones using a radioactive dye that shows any injury, disease, or healing. This is a valuable test to determine if cancer has metastasized to the bone.

A technique to create images of bones on a computer screen or on film. A small amount of radioactive material is injected into a blood vessel and travels through the bloodstream; it collects in the bones and is detected by a scanner.

Images that can show cancers, other abnormalities and infection in bone. When a mildly radioactive substance is injected, cancerous areas in the bone show up on pictures taken with a special camera. M [..]

 A technique to create images of bones on a computer screen or on film. A small amount of radioactive material is injected into a blood vessel and travels through the bloodstream; it collects in the bones and is detected by a scanner.

A bone scan is a special test that looks for damage in bones. It can detect infection, cancer and trauma. Our chiropractors and physiotherapists may suggest this in certain cases.

An imaging procedure in which a radioactive-labeled substance is injected into the body to determine the status of a bone injury. If the radioactive substance is taken up by the bone at the injury sit [..]

A diagnostic test using a mildly radioactive material to see whether the cancer has spread to your bones. [Back to Top]

A technique to create images of bones on a computer screen. A small amount of radioactive dye is injected into a vein. It collects in the bones and is detected by a scanning machine.
