What is a whole-body bone scan?
A whole-body bone scan is a test to check the health of your bones. Healthcare providers typically order this scan to check whether cancer has spread (metastasized) to your bones. You may also have a whole-body bone scan to help determine the cancer stage (how advanced it is).
A whole-body bone scan is a type of nuclear medicine imaging scan. Providers use advanced technology that may sound complicated. But the tests are painless, effective, and safe for most people.
Before the test, you receive an injection of a radiotracer (a substance that contains a small, safe amount of radioactive material). The radiotracer collects in areas of your bones with changes or irregularities. These areas appear brightly on an imaging scan, helping your provider pinpoint disease.
What does a whole-body bone scan show?
A whole-body bone scan can show damage or changes in your bones. The test doesn’t show your provider the cause of the damage or changes.
Your provider may use a whole-body nuclear bone scan as one of several tools when diagnosing conditions like:
Avascular necrosis.
Bone cancer.
Bone fractures.
Bone infections (osteomyelitis).
Fibrous dysplasia.
Osteoarthritis.
Paget’s disease of the bone (osteitis deformans).
Unexplained bone pain.
