Bone scintigraphy in staging of newly diagnosed prostate cancer in regard of different risk groups
Objective(s): Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common cancer in men over 50 years of age. Bone scintigraphy is still performed in many institutions at the time of primary diagnosis. We aimed to evaluate the role of bone scan in the primary staging of PC in regard of different risk groups. Methods: A retrospective analysis of bone scans i...
متن کامل[Incidence and imaging characteristics of skeletal metastases detected by bone scintigraphy in lung cancer patients].
BACKGROUND/AIM Detection of metastatic bone disease by skeletal scintigraphy is a classical application of nuclear medicine in cancer patients. Detection of bone metastases in patients with lung cancer is necessary for an appropriate treatment modality. The aim of this study was to report the frequency and imaging characteristics of bone metastases detected by bone scintigraphy (BS) using techn...

متن کاملDiagnostic uncertainty of isolated skull lesion in prostate cancer- Role of SPECT/CT
Skeletal involvement is the second most common site of metastases after lymph nodal metastases in patients with prostate cancer. The skeletal metastases from prostate cancer are osteoblastic in nature and show increased tracer avidity on the bone scan. Focal tracer avid lesion in skeleton especially in skull requires the careful examination by further investigation. The patients with skull meta...
