Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A bone scan is a nuclear medicine procedure that involves injecting a small amount of radioactive substance to diagnose diseases based on how the bones appear on the scan. This method is particularly useful for detecting abnormalities in bone metabolism and structure, such as fractures, infections, or cancers, that might not yet be visible on traditional X-rays.
