Bone Scan Procedure | Dr. Paulien Moyaert

Описание: This video explains the procedure of bone scanning, covering several key topics. It begins with an overview of what a bone scan is, its purpose in diagnosing conditions like fractures, infections, and cancer lesions, and how it differs from an X-ray. The video then outlines the step-by-step process, starting with patient check-in, preparation, and the injection of a radioactive tracer into the bloodstream. It describes how the tracer accumulates in the bones and the imaging process, including the three-phase bone scan for specific conditions. The video also addresses common concerns about radiation exposure and provides details on post-scan care and the interpretation of scan results. Finally, it highlights the importance of patient history in diagnosing abnormalities detected by the scan.
