What is a nuclear scanning test that identifies new areas of bone growth?
A bone scan is a nuclear scanning test that can identify areas of increased bone growth or turnover. It involves injecting a small amount of radioactive substance into the bloodstream, which is then absorbed by the bones and detected by a special camera to produce images of the skeleton.
Bone Nuclear Medicine Scan of foot white spots shown?
White spots on a bone nuclear medicine scan of the foot can indicate areas of increased bone activity, which may be suggestive of inflammation, infection, or bone injury. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider is recommended to determine the underlying cause of these white spots.
What is the bone between the temporal bone and the zygomatic bone?
the zygomaticus bone is the cheek bone or malar bone
When was A Bone for a Bone created?
A Bone for a Bone was created on 1951-04-07.
What type of bone makes up the shaft of a long bone?
bone marrow is in the center of the bone shaft

Which radioisotope helps studies of bone formation?
The radioisotope Technetium-99m is commonly used in nuclear medicine for studies of bone formation. It has a short half-life and emits gamma rays that can be detected by imaging techniques to assess bone health.
What would happen if strontium-90 is found in nuclear fallout?
it will likely concentrate in the bones, either affecting the marrow or causing bone cancer.
Does a bone density scan use nuclear radiation?
Yes, a bone density scan, also known as a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan, uses a small amount of ionizing radiation to measure bone mineral density. This radiation exposure is very low and considered safe for most people.
What is nuclear medicine?
Nuclear Medicine is the term given to a study that uses radioactive compounds like radionuclide or radiopharmaceuticals to temporarily 'collect' images from parts of the body to be studied. Radionuclide is usually injected to specific parts of the body to illuminate it and capture images from a gamma camera. The two most common nuclear scans are of the heart and bone.
Is their a Godzilla that could been created by accident?
No. If there was a creature of that size, it's bone structure would not be able to support it's weight.
What is inhomogeneous uptake in the osseous structure?
Inhomogeneous uptake in the osseous structure refers to uneven distribution of a radioactive tracer in the bones during a nuclear medicine bone scan. This may indicate areas of abnormal bone metabolism, such as fractures, infections, tumors, or bone remodeling. Further evaluation is typically needed to determine the underlying cause of the inhomogeneous uptake.
Is zometa a nuclear medication?
Zometa is not radioactive, and is not used in nuclear medicine. If you look it up, you might find it has a half life of 146 hours. This has nothing to do with radioactivity, but with the time it is retained in a human body.
What is a bone scan?
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.
What is the bone between the temporal bone and the zygomatic bone?
the zygomaticus bone is the cheek bone or malar bone
When was A Bone for a Bone created?
A Bone for a Bone was created on 1951-04-07.
