This is used for bad RA.
The instructions given to the patient are for them to use crutches and a splint until a scan has been done to show that the Yttrium has not escaped the knee and made its way into the lymph nodes or into the soft tissues around hte knee.
So, 3 things to confirm on the 3 images that you will always be presented with:
1. No extravasation outside of knee
2. No hot groin LN's
3. No hot liver
