A bone scan is a diagnostic test that uses a small amount of radioactive material (tracer) to visualize the bones in your body. The tracer will be injected into a vein, usually in the forearm. After administration of the radioactive material, you must wait approximately three hours while the tracer localizes in the bones and clears from the soft tissues.
