Abstract

The imaging targets of bone scintigraphy are all changes of bone metabolism independent of its underlying pathology. The technical background of this imaging method will be explained briefly. The use of bone scintigraphy in connection with some selected but frequent clinical questions and entities will be outlined concerning the results of bone scintigraphy in each entity. In addition, limitations of bone scintigraphy with technetium-99m (Tc-99m)-labeled diphosphonates and a comparison to other imaging modalities will be presented.
