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.
How long will it take for the biopsy site to heal? The small skin incision will begin to heal immediately. The biopsy is performed with a slightly bigger needle that is used compared to normal blood tests. This larger needle is needed to enter the bone at the back of the hip. After the biopsy the hole in the bone will immediately begin to heal and it is expected complete healing will have occurred within 1 to 2 weeks. How long does it take for the results of the biopsy? A bone marrow biopsy typically takes 2 to 4 working days to fully process and for the results of these tests to reach your doctor. Sometimes there are additional tests done on the bone marrow material that can take a number of weeks.
