Abstract

Bone marrow scan is mainly used in conjunction with radiolabeled leukocyte imaging to differentiate uptake due to infection from the normal bone marrow [1]. It can also be used to assess bone marrow expansion or depletion, extramedullary hematopoiesis, and bone marrow defects or infarctions and for planning radiation therapy in oncologic patients [2].
