title: Fibrous dysplasia in the light of new diagnostic methods.
abstract: Various screening tests provide a detailed representation of fibrous dysplasia: thermography, scintigraphy, computer tomography, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray microanalysis, microradiography and fluorescence microscopy. The stationary nature of clinical and X-ray findings contrasts with the intensive structural changes that occur. The above-mentioned methods are examined with regard to differential diagnosis.
