A member asked:

Is there a scan which will show everything that is wrong with you, and can even detect microfractures? if so, which scan is it?

Not exactly: Every test has advantages and disadvantages to it, based in part on what you are looking for. When looking for a small fracture in a specific area of the body, an MRI is usually the most sensitive. When looking at the whole body, a bone scan is best, but it is not very specific. Thank you for the question.
