NORMAL PAEDIATRIC BONE SCAN




All that you have to know is that the growth plates are located at the ends ("epiphyses") of long bones and are the most active parts of the skeleton. So, they always look hot.

So, it looks like the child has:
- 2 anklets and 2 watches
- a stripe on either side of the knee and elbow
- an ipod on both shoulders
AND FINALLY
- a stripe in both groins

So that makes 4 stripes in the arm, 1 in the groin and 3 in the leg = 8 stripes to account for on either side.
