Can a spect scan show bruises on bone?

Yes: Stress changes in the bone will be detected on a bone scan and will be more precisely located on the spect scan.

Yes : Yes. SPECT scan is a 3D nuclear medicine scan. It is even more accurate if it is combined with a CT scan in a procedure called SPECT/CT.
