Abstrakt: Bone scintigraphy using 99mTc-labeled phosphate compounds and the scintillation camera supplements X-ray diagnosis in an excellent manner, for localizing and determining the size and metabolic activity of inflammations, degenerations, and malignancies of the skeletal system. It is of prime importance in the early detection and staging of the disease, as well as in registering the course and response to therapy of osseous metastases.
