Radionuclide bone scans. These scans involve injecting a small amount of radioactive material into a vein. Primary tumors or cells that have metastasized absorb the radioactive material and show up as dark spots on the scan.

i dont know what the hell up is the answer
i want to know what actually goes into a bone scan. A nuclear medicine bone scan images the physiology, or function of the bones in the body. An injection of the material your bones use to repair themselves if given to the patient. The only difference between the drug and the natural substance is tha we attach a radioactive atom to each of the drug molecules so that our cameras are able to image the drug as the body uses it. The idea of the scan is that any damage or abnormality of the bone will have an increase, or decrease in bone repair, therefore showing up lighter, or darker on the scan.
