Thermographic, radionuclide, and radiographic detection of bone metastases. 1977

I M Freundlich, and R O'Mara, and M J Pitt

The sensitivity of thermography to osseous metastases is compared to 99mTc bone scanning using the specificity of radiographic skeletal survey as proof of metastases. Thirty-five patients with suspected disease were selected for study. Bone scans detected 94.4% while thermograms detected 22.2%. Thermography proved quite insensitive to osseous metastases. Radionuclide bone scanning is the method of choice for the present.

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.

D013817	Thermography	Imaging the temperatures in a material, or in the body or an organ. Imaging is based on self-emanating infrared radiation (HEAT WAVES), or on changes in properties of the material or tissue that vary with temperature, such as ELASTICITY; MAGNETIC FIELD; or LUMINESCENCE.
