The purpose of a bone scan is to help your doctor evaluate how your bones are working. It provides information to help diagnose and treat your condition.
The scan can show injury to the bones, the effects of disease such as cancer or infection, or any improvement or worsening in a bone condition after any treatments.
There is no special preparation for this test. You may eat and take your medicines as you normally do. If you are (or think you might be) pregnant or breast feeding please inform your health care team.
There are no restrictions after your bone scan. Your doctor will receive the bone scan images and test results. The findings will be shared with your at your next appointment.
