Eckhard, that's a beautiful set. It's amazing to see something from 1937 working so well. Thank you for sharing the photos and videos.

I had a bone scan done to look for a minor fracture. I was amazed at the level of activity. It's also highest in the pelvic region. I was tempted to go into the lab and walk by one of the area monitors but I decided that the regulators wouldn't see that as very humorous.

For a problem like yours the bone scan makes sense. The benefits far outweigh the risk.

After discovering what the dose I received was I'm very reluctant to have one done again to look for as trivial as a fracture.

Technetium 99m has a half-life of six hours and a biological half-life of about a day depending on the chemical form. You excrete most of it in a few hours in your urine.
