Hi,
Thank you for your query.
I can understand your concern. I would not be able to comment till the scan is viewed. It would have been better if you had mentioned the radiologist's report which would have given me some idea. The dark spots that you are mentioning may be the growing ends of the bones in your daughter as the epiphyses have not fused.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your daughter an early recovery.
Regards,
