Abstract:
Radionuclide bone scintigraphy with technetium-99m-methylene diphosphonate is the commonest procedure in nuclear medicine. It is an effective diagnostic tool in staging of primary bone tumours since long. It is not only helpful to confirm the radiologic features of malignant bone tumours but also demonstrates skeletal metastasis and soft tissue involvement. Computed tomography (CT) combined with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT/CT) give better insight to localize and categorize the lesions. We describe an interesting image of chondrosarcoma showing anatomical extent of primary tumour and multifocal uptake in the chest conforming to underlying widespread partially calcified pulmonary metastases.

Unusual Results
According to the range rule of thumb, any value above or below two standard deviations, 2σ from the mean, μ is considered unusual.

z Scores and Unusual Values
This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data...
