What kind of tracer is used in a bone scan?
Radio active
Is a procedure in which a radioactive substance is placed within the body to enable visualization of a bone via the image produced by the emission of radioactive particles?
Bone Scan
What imaging technique utilizes radioactive substances?
bone scan
How long after having radiation for your thyroid can you be around your young children?
If you are receiving radiation treatment for cancer, you can still be around kids. The radiation, and the cancer, are not contagious.Another Answer:It depends on whether you just receive radiation, or if you have radioactive implants. If you just receive radiation therapy, such as gamma radiation from Cobalt-60, then you are not radioactive when you leave the facility. If you have implants, however, such as around the prostate gland in certain forms of therapy, you are radioactive, and you need to ask your radiation technologist and doctor what your limits are relative to being around children.Note: Some radiation treatment, particularly neutron bombardment, can cause activation of some of your atoms into a radioactive form. To be safe, talk to your doctor, etc. in any case.Also, bone scans, heart scans, and other types of scans where you are injected with a radioactive tracer, such as Technicium-99M, do make you radioactive for a short while, often just a few days. Again, talk to your doctor.
What are some common uses of technetium?
Some common uses of technetium include medical imaging, specifically in the form of radioactive isotopes for bone scans and heart imaging exams. Technetium is also used in industrial applications, such as measuring the thickness of materials and detecting leaks in pipelines. Additionally, it is used in scientific research and as a tracer in environmental studies.

What are radionuclide bone scans?
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.
What is focal uptake on a bone scan?
There is a particular area of bone that is much more metabolically active than the bone in the rest of the body.
What is the percentage of cells in the bone matrix?
Cells account for only 2% of the weight of a typical bone cell.
