The dye that is used for ‘bone scans’ (Technetium 99m I think) - I believe that contains bisphosphonates/phosphonates. Is one at ANY risk of getting Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ) with that when used in the ‘tracer’?

I have only seen about people getting it when having proper treatment with bisphosphonates.

Hope someone knows. Thanks.
