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.
The actual scanning time for the 18F-Sodium Fluoride (NaF) PET/CT is generally 15-20 minutes, as compared with 45-60 minutes for the conventional bone scan. While the complete 18F-Sodium Fluoride (NaF) PET/CT study will require about one hour, the 99mTc-MDP study will require some four hours.
