title: Facial bone scintigraphy. I. Metastatic lesions in the mandible.
abstract: Five cases of metastases in the mandible are reported. Conventional radiography and bone scintigraphy by 99Tcm-DP recorded by gamma camera were performed. Invariably the lesions were clearly demonstrated by scintigraphy when radiography revealed only minor structural changes of the bone tissue.
