Normal Bone Scan Appearance and Common Variants

About this Video Lesson

This educational video is the second part of a nuclear medicine series on skeletal scintigraphy. It focuses on interpreting normal findings and recognizing physiologic variants in bone scans. The video builds on prior knowledge of radiopharmaceutical kinetics and guides viewers through the appearance of both the axial and appendicular skeleton in standard planar whole-body imaging. By learning to distinguish normal patterns from pathology, viewers can develop a systematic approach to reading bone scintigraphy with confidence.

Learning Objectives:

After watching this video, learners will be able to:

  • Describe the typical appearance of a normal bone scan across the axial and appendicular skeleton.
  • Differentiate physiological variants from pathological tracer uptake patterns.
  • Apply a structured review approach to planar whole-body bone scans.
  • Recognize key skeletal landmarks and understand how normal biodistribution of tracer appears.
  • Understand the three phases of bone scintigraphy, including dynamic, blood pool, and delayed static images.
