Three-Phase Bone Scan (Nuclear Medicine)

A three-phase bone scan images the same area three times after one injection of radioactive tracer: during the injection, right after it, and again several hours later. The three time points separate blood flow from bone activity, which is how an infection or a loosened joint replacement is told apart from ordinary bone remodeling.
