[Computed tomography in the diagnosis of isolated bone metastases and its influence in therapy planning]
Abstract:
In a collective of 70 patients with bone metastases the importance of CT for detection and extension diagnosis is shown. In 53% CT proved the scintigraphic and/or roentgenologic suspicion. In 30% CT gave more information than scintigraphy and plain radiography, but without any influence in the treatment. In 17% only CT gave such important information, that the planned treatment must be changed. The results led to the conclusion, that CT can be important for the optimization of radiological treatment.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
