Bare metal stents on the cardiovascular vessels are usually a good candidate for a nuclear bone scan.
A bare metal stent in a cardiovascular vessel is a simple metal tubular structure that is implanted into the coronary arteries to provide an expanding support for the narrowed coronary arteries so that blood flow can be unobstructed, and is used to treat atherosclerotic coronary heart disease.
Nuclide bone scan is an isotope whole-body bone scan that detects morphological or metabolic abnormalities in bone tissue through radionuclides. It is a whole-body orthopedic examination program that involves injecting a radioactive drug prior to the examination and waiting for the bone to fully absorb the radioactive drug for 2-3 hours before using a radiological imaging instrument that detects the distribution of radioactivity throughout the body of the bone.
Bare metal stents on the cardiovascular system generally have no effect on the radionuclide bone scan, but if you want to perform auxiliary tests other than the radionuclide bone scan, it is recommended that you ask your doctor to develop a specific diagnosis and treatment plan for the patient’s individual situation.
