An MDP Scan (Methylene Diphosphonate Scan) is a nuclear medicine test that helps check the health of your bones. A small amount of a safe radioactive tracer is injected into your body, which travels to your bones and highlights problem areas.
This scan is used to detect:
Bone infections
Fractures
Arthritis
Bone cancer (metastases)
Other bone diseases
It gives your doctor a clear picture of how your bones are working and helps catch issues early.
