Overview

Bone scan in Ewing's sarcoma is used to observe abnormal areas of bone and metastasis.[1]

Other Imaging Findings

A bone scan uses bone-seeking radioactive materials (radiopharmaceuticals) and a computer to create a picture of the bones. Bone scan in Ewing's sarcoma is used to:[1]

  • Observe abnormal areas of bone
  • Many bone tumors will light up on a bone scan
  • Observe if cancer has spread to other bones (metastasis)
