1d BONE - near the bone (indecent) near (neighbour)

Great parsing stevie gee.

1d Also known as near the knuckle (bone)

Still not convinced about 30a It can 21 stock (4) S?E?
(21 being SCAN)
SMEE - pirate link but how does it connect with 'scan'?
SPET - don't know that acronym can find no relevance to clue
STEM is what I had - ties in with stock in Chambers but not with scan. Don't think it's correct either!
Any more brainwaves?

Re 30a.
Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT, or less commonly, SPET) is a nuclear medicine tomographic imaging technique using gamma rays.[1] It is very similar to conventional nuclear medicine planar imaging using a gamma camera (that is, scintigraphy).[2] However, it is able to provide true 3D information. This information is typically presented as cross-sectional slices through the patient, but can be freely reformatted or manipulated as required.
