Abstract:
78 radiologically certified skeletal metastases--osteolytic as well as osteoplastic--were examined via sonography. A defect of the cortex could be seen in 82%, a periostal reaction in 28.2% and a concomitant soft tissue tumorous formation in 79.4%. In proving a soft part component sonography is superior to the conventional x-ray. Our study shows that osseous metastases can be verified by sonography.
