  • Title: [Early recognition of bone metastases (comparative study between bone scintigraphy and x-ray examination)].
    Author: Fochem K, Ogris E.
    Journal: Acta Med Austriaca; 1976; 3(5):170-6. PubMed ID: 1020632.
    Abstract:
    The examination shows, that in search for skeletal metastases the bone scintigraphy marks the bone-process in 45% while the X-ray is still silent. Therefore, we believe that the first examination in quest of skeletal metastases must first be a whole-body scintigraphy and then secondly, an X-ray examination with tomography, inasmuch as scintigraphy cannot give an exact differential diagnosis (degeneration, inflammation or destruction).
