Research Notes on Bone Scan
A bone scan is a scanning test that identifies new areas of bone growth or breakdown. It is done to evaluate damage to the bones, detect cancer that has metastasized (spread) to the bones, and monitor conditions that can affect the bones (including infection and trauma). A bone scan can often detect a problem days to months earlier than a regular X-ray.
