title: The lateral view in radionuclide imaging of the sacrum.
abstract: Radionuclide bone images in the anterior and posterior views failed to demonstrate a large metastatic tumor involving the sacrum which was obvious on the lateral view. Evaluation of the sacrum by radionuclide imaging may be incomplete without the lateral projection, particularly when there is a question of false-negative anterior and posterior views or difficulty in interpreting the radionuclide images.
