Overview
Bone scintigraphy may be helpful in the diagnosis of bone and cartilage tumors. Radioisotopes play an important role in the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant bone lesions.[1][2]
Other Diagnostic Studies
Bone Scintigraphy
- Bone scintigraphy may be helpful in the diagnosis of bone and cartilage tumors
- Radioisotopes play an important role in the diagnosis of benign and malignant bone lesions[1]
- Bone scintigraphy is primarily used to help diagnose a number of conditions related to bone or cartilage masses, including: primary bone tumors, secondary bone tumors, locating some sources of bone inflammation
- Bone scintigraphy features, include:[1]
- Characterization of bone malignancy
- Characterization of pathological fractures
- Technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (Tc-99m MDP) is the isotope of choice
- Useful for bone and cartilage tumors staging[2]
- Useful for the prognosis in some primary bone malignancies
- Useful for determining response to therapy
- Common findings, include:
- Lesions with increased uptake in any bone involved
