Overview

Bone scan in Ewing sarcoma is used to observe abnormal areas of bone and metastasis.

Other Imaging Findings

A bone scan uses bone-seeking radioactive materials (radiopharmaceuticals) and a computer to create a picture of the bones. Bone scan in Ewing sarcoma 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).
