Bone scan is used to diagnose and monitor infection, fracture, or disorders in the bone.

Thermography may be used to detect the presence or absence of nerve root compression, especially when the sympathetic nerves are involved.

 ===Bone Scan===
-[[Bone scan]] is used to diagnose and monitor [[infection]], [[fracture]], or disorders in the [[bone]]. A small amount of radioactive material is injected into the bloodstream and will collect in the bones, particularly in areas with some abnormality. Scanner-generated images are sent to a computer to identify specific areas of irregular bone metabolism or abnormal [[blood flow]], as well as to measure levels of joint disease.

 ===Thermography===
-[[Thermography]] involves the use of infrared sensing devices to measure small temperature changes between the two sides of the body or the temperature of a specific organ. Thermography may be used to detect the presence or absence of nerve root compression, especially when the [[sympathetic nerve]]s are involved.
