Other Imaging Findings [1][2][3][4]

Other Imaging Findings [1][2][3][4]

A bone scan uses bone-seeking radioactive materials (radiopharmaceuticals) and a computer to create a picture of the bones. Bone scan in osteosarcoma is used to:

  • Observe abnormal areas of bone.
  • Many bone tumors will light up on a bone scan.
  • Observe if cancer has spread to other bones (metastasis).
  • Delayed images of a bone scan demonstrate the femoral lesion to have increased activity. No other lesions evident.
