    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Radionuclide bone scanning represents a significant advancement in diagnostic imaging.
    • Otolaryngologists frequently encounter conditions involving the bony and cartilaginous structures of the head and neck.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the specific applications of bone scanning within otolaryngology.
    • To assess the diagnostic utility of this modality in clinical practice over three years.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of the history and principles of nuclear medicine and bone scanning.
    • Explanation of radionuclide properties (e.g., 99mTc) and the tracer principle.
    • Discussion of bone physiology, scanning agents, patient factors, and gamma camera technology.

    Main Results:

    • Proven applications include head and neck cancer evaluation, temporomandibular joint disorders, facial fractures, osteomyelitis, laryngeal imaging, and systemic disease assessment.
    • Adjunctive value noted for meningioma diagnosis.
    • Areas of marginal utility were also identified.

    Conclusions:

    • Bone scanning is a valuable tool for otolaryngologists, particularly for evaluating malignant tumors, fractures, and infections.
    • The modality provides crucial physiologic and anatomic information for diagnosing various head and neck pathologies.
    • Further integration of bone scanning into the otolaryngologist's armamentarium is recommended.
