Other diagnostic study may include bone scintigraphy.^[1]

Bone scintigraphy is a nuclear scanning test to find certain abnormalities in bone.
Bone scintigraphy is primarily used to help diagnose a number of conditions related to bone or cartilage masses, including: primary bone tumors, secondary bone tumors, locating some sources of bone inflammation
The use of bone scintigraphy for the diagnosis of pathological fractures may be useful

Scintigraphy and the detection of damage to bones due to certain infections and other problems.
