[The early scintigraphic diagnosis of bone metastases in prostatic carcinoma]. 1991

T Petrov, and M Tsvetkov, and D Mladenov, and Kh Kumanov

Fifty-nine patients, 58 to 88 years of age, with prostate cancer comprise the study group. Screening studies were made in doubtful diagnosis and vague complaints, as well as repeated scintigraphic controls in histologically proven cancer. The most common localization of the bone lesions were: pelvis, ribs, lumbar and thoracic vertebrae. Distribution of the zones of enhanced drosition, effect of treatment and eventual connection between scintigraphic and histologic finding are noted. Patients without X-ray evidence of bone metastases or with evidence of single metastases, frequently had extensive dissemination of the metastatic process when whole-body bone scintigraphy was made.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D004164 Diphosphonates Organic compounds which contain P-C-P bonds, where P stands for phosphonates or phosphonic acids. These compounds affect calcium metabolism. They inhibit ectopic calcification and slow down bone resorption and bone turnover. Technetium complexes of diphosphonates have been used successfully as bone scanning agents.
