Abstract

[Indexed for MEDLINE] Conflict of interest statement: Disclosure: no potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported. 9. Am Fam Physician. 1975 Mar;11(3):84-9. Bone scanning. Greenfield LD, Bennett LR. Scanning is based on the uptake of a nuclide by the crystal lattice of bone and is related to bone blood flow. Cancer cells do not take up the tracer. Normally, the scan visualizes the highly vascular bones. Scans are useful and are indicated in metastatic bone disease, primary bone tumors, hematologic malignancies and some non-neoplastic diseases. The scan is more sensitive than x-ray in the detection of malignant diseases of the skeleton.
