Results and Values

What do the test results mean?

This test can:

  • show specific areas of irregular bone metabolism, which may suggest certain diseases based on the pattern of abnormality
  • detect abnormal blood flow to a particular bony region
  • help evaluate metabolic diseases that affect bone, such as certain thyroid conditions
  • detect the spread of cancer to the bones and evaluate results of cancer treatment
  • diagnose bone changes from a condition called reflex sympathetic dystrophy, a disorder of nerves that may cause pain, usually in the hands or feet
