I found this article @http://www.livestrong.com/article/28864-read-bone-scans/
"Looking for "hot" and "cold" spots. Bone scans use a mildly radioactive dye to measure bone metabolism. "Hot" areas--areas that are abnormally bright on the scan--indicate that there is increased bone turnover in that area, whereas cold areas on the scan--abnormally dark compared with the surrounding bone--indicate that there is less bone breakdown and regrowth in an area. Hot spots may be indicative of inflammation or a tumor, whereas cold spots can be a sign of decreased blood flow to an area.
Bone scans are good for detecting abnormalities in bone breakdown and metabolism, but they are not good for determining the cause of these abnormalities. Consequently, further tests, including MRIs, may be necessary to further examine any aberrant bone sections."
I'm sure there will be further testing Like MRI or Catscan.
