A bone scan uses bone-seeking radioactive materials (radiopharmaceuticals) and a computer to create a picture of the bones. Bone scan in osteosarcoma is used to:
Observe abnormal areas of bone.
Many bone tumors will light up on a bone scan.
Observe if cancer has spread to other bones (metastasis).

Delayed images of a bone scan demonstrate the femoral lesion to have increased activity. No other lesions evident.
What other imaging findings are associated with osteosarcoma?
