Would the bone density scan show erosions if I had them? I just had one of those and all that was said was I had just the beginnings of osteopena or something like that.
They can find some things on the first bone density scanwanttobeRAfree, the bone scan I mentioned is the one where they inject you with a radioactive tracer first. I believe this is different from a bone density scan, which is basically an x-ray. The nuclear bone scan shows new areas of bone growth, which represents damage that the body is trying to recover from.
I think what you're talking about wantttoberafree is the dexa scan. You lay on the thing and the thing scans over your hips and spine?
