I'm not 100 percent sure, but I believe that the "dark spots", often called hot spots, refer to abnormal amounts of radionuclide in the bone, determining that it is infected or diseased.
Though the previous person isn't completely wrong, it really depends on how the images are displayed. If there is a white background, anything dark = increase tracer uptake, which could be a multitude of things, from trauma (bruises), to fractures, to cancer. Other scans are performed to distinguish between the many possibilities. Basically the premise of a bone scan is to image the physiology of bones. The drug used for the scan is what your body uses to repair bones. Bones are constantly under repair due to old cells dying, and new cells taking their place so that is why the whole skeleton shows up. So, when there is an increase in the repair of bone, it wills how up brighter on the scan (if black background, it will be more white, and if white background, it will be more black). Hope that answers your question a tad better.

What are sun spots and how are they formed?
Sunspots are dark spots visible on the sun that are caused by intense magnetic activity and causes the area where the sunspots are seen to cool the temperature at that area.
What are Dark spots seen on the sun are called?
Sunspots. Do not look at the sun directly. You will be blinded. Answer 2: They are called Sun's dark spots. The new study reports that Sun's dark spots seem to form when uranium fission lifts away a large chunk of Sun's core material along with fission fragments into nuclear fallout. A large crater formed at the site of fission appears as Sun's dark spot since no emission takes place from the site, while the remaining Sun's disk show very low intensity at Bharat Radiation, UV and visible light wavelengths.
Does drinking alcohol cause dark spot on your body?
Yes, usually on the backs of the hands first. These are similar to "age spots, " but generally larger and they develop more rapidly and spread to the forearms. They may also appear on the face. These "Liver spots" are caused by a combination of reduced liver function and reduced circulation of blood to the surface of the skin. Thinning of the skin usually accompanies the spots, making the person more prone to bruising and superficial abrasions, which then take longer than normal to heal. Normally, the dark spots, for that matter, brown spots or yellow spots or whatever you call them, are caused by ultra violate rays of the sun. When the skin is exposed to sun for longer time, you get these spots. They are also called sun spots. These spots are also called age spots. They develop naturally with aging when their skin can't protect them from sunlight. But how these spots are related with liver dysfunctions is still to be established. I have seen so many alcoholics who don't have a dark or brown or yellow spots on their skin. But I have seen aged people having these spots on their skins. Any specialists can clear our doubts. Please do this. Thanks.
