What is luminousscans?

Luminous scans are medical imaging tests that use radiation to create images of the internal body. This test is commonly used to diagnose and monitor diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and bone disorders.

During a luminous scan, a small amount of radioactive substance is injected into the patient's body. The substance then moves through the bloodstream and collects in specific organs or tissues. A special camera is then used to capture images of the radiation emitted by the substance.

Luminous scans are safe and non-invasive, and they do not cause any pain or discomfort for the patient. However, patients may need to restrict their diet or medication use prior to the test to ensure accurate results.

Some common types of luminous scans include PET scans, CT scans, and bone scans. These tests are typically performed in a hospital or medical imaging center by a trained technician or radiologist. Results are usually available within a few days, and a physician can interpret the results to determine if any further action is needed.
