Abstract:
The bone scan has well-recognized appearances in metabolic bone diseases, with its main clinical value found in focal conditions or the focal complications of disease. In clinical practice, the bone scan is most widely used to detect fractures in osteoporosis and pseudofractures in osteomalacia and to evaluate Paget's disease.
