This video explains the procedure of bone scanning, covering several key topics. It begins with an overview of what a bone scan is, its purpose in diagnosing conditions like fractures, infections, and cancer lesions, and how it differs from an Xray. The video then outlines the stepbystep process, starting with patient checkin, preparation, and the injection of a radioactive tracer into the bloodstream. It describes how the tracer accumulates in the bones and the imaging process, including the threephase bone scan for specific conditions. The video also addresses common concerns about radiation exposure and provides details on postscan care and the interpretation of scan results. Finally, it highlights the importance of patient history in diagnosing abnormalities detected by the scan.
