Bone scan results question - Bobbio


Posted: Feb 24, 2012

The bone scan only showed total warm activation in the left midfemur?

? turnover activation - nm

uniform activation?

Makes sense to me - sm - NucMedMT

I think it is awkward wording but a nuclear medicine scan with an abnormality shows up as a cold spot or a hot spot. So a warm activation would be an awkward way of saying it is normal with no hot or cold spots seen.
