A member asked:
I had an x-ray of my chest under my left breast and radiologist said there was a dense area and would like a nuclear bone scan. what does this mean?

Ask: It is important that you understand why you are having a test done. Nuclear scans are most often done to look at bones for infection or other illnesses. But do ask your doctor what he/she is looking for. All the best.
