    Scintigraphy offers a cost-effective and lower-radiation alternative to X-rays for assessing Paget's disease. This radioisotope imaging method provides a comprehensive view of bone condition, making it ideal for patient follow-up.

    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear medicine
    • Radiology
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Paget's disease of bone is a chronic disorder affecting bone remodeling.
    • Accurate assessment of disease extension and activity is crucial for patient management.
    • Conventional imaging methods like X-ray have limitations in comprehensively evaluating the pathophysiologic condition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of simultaneous scintigraphic and X-ray examination in patients with Paget's disease.
    • To compare the diagnostic value, cost, time, and radiation dosage of scintigraphy versus X-ray.
    • To determine the utility of radioisotope imaging for skeletal evaluation in Paget's disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Simultaneous scintigraphic and X-ray examinations were performed on 30 patients diagnosed with Paget's disease.

  • Scintigraphy was utilized to visualize the pathophysiologic state of the bone.
  • Comparative analysis of cost, time, and radiation exposure between the two imaging modalities was conducted.

    • Main Results:

    • Scintigraphy provides a comprehensive picture of the pathophysiologic condition in Paget's disease.
    • The radioisotope imaging procedure is more economical in terms of cost, time, and radiation dosage compared to X-rays.
    • Simultaneous imaging effectively estimates the extension and activity of the disease.

    Conclusions:

    • Scintigraphy is a valuable tool for assessing Paget's disease extension and activity.
    • Radioisotope imaging offers significant advantages over X-rays in terms of cost-effectiveness and radiation safety.
    • Scintigraphy is strongly recommended for follow-up examinations in patients with Paget's disease.
