Will sarcoidosis show up in a bone scan?

Sarcoidosis can sometimes be detected on a bone scan, particularly if it has caused changes in the bones, such as granuloma formation or osteitis. However, bone scans are not the primary diagnostic tool for sarcoidosis; imaging techniques like chest X-rays or CT scans are more commonly used to assess lung involvement. If bone involvement is suspected, a more targeted approach, such as MRI or biopsy, may be necessary for accurate diagnosis.
