* thyroid scans – used to evaluate thyroid function.
* bone scans – used to evaluate any degenerative and/or arthritic changes in the joints, to detect bone diseases and tumors, and/or to determine the cause of bone pain or inflammation.
* gallium scans – used to diagnose active infectious and/or inflammatory diseases, tumors, and abscesses.
* heart scans – used to identify abnormal blood flow to the heart, to determine the extent of the damage of the heart muscle after a heart attack, and/or to measure heart function.
* brain scans – used to investigate problems within the brain and/or in the blood circulation to the brain.
* breast scans – often used in conjunction with mammograms to locate cancerous tissue in the breast.
