What Does It Mean To Have Faint Focal Area Of Increased Tracer Activity On The Bone Scan?
I had a 3rd Bone Scan and the impression was there is a faint focal area of increased tracer activity involving the sixth right anterior rrib at its coastal attachment.this finding likely represents posttraumatic change less prominent than was noted on the last scan.

not to scare you. but the finding you described without telling me any symptoms is hard to zero down on. however it could be a metabolic bone disease or possible metastasis. Let me again point out that the history u provided is very little to make a diagnosis over the net
