[Bone scintigraphy in osteodystrophia deformans (Paget's disease)].
The value of combined investigations using both scintiscanning and radiological procedures has been proved for the disease's extension and activity in 28 patients suffering from osteodystrophia deformans (Pagets disease). It was seen that such a method leads to more precise results concerning the patient's condition. Special therapy indications were set up, based on these summarized findings. A further advantage of bones scanning alone is the lower radiation dose, which is mainly indicated for control tests in Paget's course. At present, we have no experience of malignant forms of this disease among our group of patients.
