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.
Not knowing when the results will be ready and not understanding why testing sometimes takes longer than expected can cause extra concern. Routine biopsy and cytology results may be ready as soon as 1or 2 days after the sample gets to the lab. But there are many reasons some take much longer to complete. Often, there are technical reasons for delays in reporting results. For instance, certain types of body tissues take longer to process than others.
