Frequently Asked Questions
How safe is the radioactive tracer?
Extremely safe – the dose is minimal and excreted within 24 hours. Radiation exposure is less than a CT scan.
Why the long wait between injection and scanning?
The tracer needs time to circulate and accumulate in areas of abnormal bone activity.
Will my arthritis affect the results?
Our specialists differentiate degenerative changes from significant pathology in image interpretation.
