A whole body bone scan takes around 3-4 hours, which includes two separate visits. In the first visit you will be given an injection of a radioactive isotope into a vein in your arm. There are no side effects to this injection. The isotope takes 2-3 hours to circulate in the blood and get absorbed in the bone.
Diagnosis is achieved by performing a Doppler ultrasound of the legs. The test itself takes 15-30 minutes to perform. The timing of the result depends on who interprets the findings (radiology technician, radiologist, vascular medicine physician, etc). Generally speaking the result should be available within several hours but can take up to a day.
