What is 'bone scanning'?

Bone scanning is a nuclear medicine procedure which, basically, looks at the turnover, or reaction in the bones, for a variety of reasons. We can use bone scanning to diagnose metastatic dissemination of cancer in the bone. Or use it for looking at infection of the bone, fractures. So, any disease process that involves the bone, a bone scan is useful for.
