Abstract

Radionuclide bone imaging remains the most widely used method for detection of benign and metastatic involvement of the skeleton. This chapter talks about the applications of radionuclide scintigraphy in bone metastases, osteoporosis, Paget's disease, hyperparathyroidism, renal osteodystrophy, and osteomalacia. Recent advances in hybrid anatomical/functional imaging consolidates the roles of radioisotope imaging in skeletal disease. In particular, hybrid single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT provides an opportunity to more accurately assess specific clinical problems, such as persistent back pain in osteoporotic patients.
