[Diagnostic procedure in osteodystrophia deformans Paget].
Simultaneous scintigraphic and X-ray examination has been evaluated in 30 patients with Paget's disease for estimation of extension and activity of the disease. Scintigraphy produces a comprehensive picture of the pathophysiologic condition. When compared with X-rays the procedure is more economic with regards to cost, time and radiation dosage. Therefore, the use of radioisotopes for evaluation of the skeleton is strongly recommended for follow-up examination in Paget's disease.
