Does old break show on bone scan?
An old fracture may not show up on a bone scan if it has completely healed with no active inflammation or increased metabolic activity present at the site. The presence of old breaks on a bone scan largely depends on the healing process and the resolution of any previous damage to the bone.
What do black spots indicate on bone scan?
Black spots on a bone scan may indicate areas of increased bone activity or hot spots, which can be caused by conditions such as fractures, infection, inflammation, or bone tumors. These areas typically show up as dark areas on the scan due to higher uptake of the radioactive tracer used in the scan.
What does splenule mean. Spleen on ct scan show small splenule what is it?
A splenule is a small accessory spleen, which is a congenital variation where additional small tissue fragments resembling the spleen are found outside the main spleen. It is a benign condition and typically does not cause any symptoms or require treatment. Seeing a small splenule on a CT scan is usually of no concern unless there are associated symptoms or other abnormalities.
What are dark spots seen on a bone after a bone scan?
I'm not 100 percent sure, but I believe that the "dark spots", often called hot spots, refer to abnormal amounts of radionuclide in the bone, determining that it is infected or diseased. Though the previous person isn't completely wrong, it really depends on how the images are displayed. If there is a white background, anything dark = increase tracer uptake, which could be a multitude of things, from trauma (bruises), to fractures, to cancer. Other scans are performed to distinguish between the many possibilities. Basically the premise of a bone scan is to image the physiology of bones. The drug used for the scan is what your body uses to repair bones. Bones are constantly under repair due to old cells dying, and new cells taking their place so that is why the whole skeleton shows up. So, when there is an increase in the repair of bone, it wills how up brighter on the scan (if black background, it will be more white, and if white background, it will be more black). Hope that answers your question a tad better.

If a patient is injected with radioactive iodine, a radioisotope scan would typically show it accumulating in the thyroid gland. This is because the thyroid absorbs iodine to produce thyroid hormones. The scan can help assess thyroid function and detect abnormalities such as hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, or cancer.

What does gallbladder adhesions feel like?
I just had my gallbladder removed 2 days ago. I had adhesions from my omentem to my gallbladder to the underside of my liver. I had had problems with my gallbladder for 2 years. All I can say is I had two different types of pains...one was a pulling sensation when I would lay on my left side. I would get a lot of referred pain to my stomach, therefore my doctors thought I had an ulcer. Then I would get gallbladder pain, the usual sharp pain under my ribs, as I did have decreased function of my gallbladder. I had an ultrasound done an there were no gallstones. I had a hiata scan done and I had decreased ejection fraction of 30% of my gallbladder. The ultrasound obviously did not show the adhesions, as it is such fine tissue. When the surgeon opened me up, he could not believe how many adhesions I had. My overall symptions were a lot of stomach pain. I couldn't eat very much. A lot of this was referred pain from my right side. Unless I would palpate that side, I would tend to think that it was my stomach giving me all of these issues. And then I had real gallbladder pain, which was sharp stabbing pain under my ribs. I'm 29 years old, 5'8" and 125 lbs. Excellent shape if you exlude these symptoms! I could not however ride my bike or do extensive exercise because my stomach would kill me 5 minutes after I was done. It would lead to vomiting as well. I am still in recovery mode as this is extremely painful, but I am feeling better as time passes by.
