[Quantitative assessment of qualitative traits of radionuclide images of the bones]

The results of radionuclide visualization of 147 patients with primary bone pathology were analyzed using probability algorithms. This analysis resulted in the determination of several groups of signs of various degrees of reliability in the diagnosis of some types of bone pathology. Diagnostic algorithms allow summing up and classifying practical experience and to test hypotheses, put forward by some of the physicians as a result of their practical activities. The use of probability algorithms in radionuclide studies is necessitated by a great variety of radiopharmaceuticals and a multitude of radiodiagnostic approaches to the standardization of methods and unification of diagnostic decisions.
