Definition
administer 20-30 mCi of agent
if flow study is required, place patient under the
camera prior to injection to see the flow of the tracer
to the area
post injection encourage the patient to drink water (2 or
more 8 oz) will allow the tracer to clear from body and
frequent voiding will
decrease the bladders exposure level
imaging can begin 2-3 hours post injection
,patient must void prior to scan
usually whole body scanning is done followed by spot
views,SPECT may be required for back pain as well as if
there is hardware in the body
Give this one a try later!
what is the protocol
for a multiphase what is the spot image technique?
bone scan?
what is the protocol for
what is the whole body
technique? bone imaging?
Don't
know?

what is 18 F-sodium Fluoride (NaF) PET imaging used for?
Give this one a try later!
provide physiological info about bone
epiphyseal plates and costochondral junctions
, administer 20-30 mci of agent

osteoblast activity
will cause increase tracer uptake

imaging?
Give this one a try later!
