A bone scan is an example of an isotope scan that may show "hot spots" indicating possible pathology, such as areas of increased bone activity due to tumors, fractures, infections, or arthritis. Arteriograms are used to visualize the arteries and blood vessels and do not use isotopes. CAT scans and mammograms use X-rays to produce images and do not involve the use of isotopes unless a contrast agent is used.
