strontium-radioisotopes and Femoral-Neoplasms

Comparative studies between radiological (equals R; x-ray, thermography, angiography) and nuclear medical examinations (equals NM; scanner-, scintillation camera-sequential scintigraphy) in 339 patients with different bone diseases led to the following results: Thermography proved to be inferior to scanning in detecting of bone diseases. Angiography was the procedure of choice in detecting malignant bone tumors. Sequential scintigraphy performed by means of the Anger-HP-scintillation camera and Intertechnique-Cine-System allowed to establish the kinetic behaviour of tumors: an early increased TcPoP accumulation was observed in tumors with high perfusion (sarcoma), a late accumulation in those with low perfusion (osteoid osteoma).
