title: [Radio-isotope investigations in bone and joint disease (author's transl)].
abstract: Scintigraphy of the skeleton has a definite place. It is indispensable in examinations of clinically or radiologically doubtful lesions and should be routinely used for the classification of malignant tumors. Scintigrams may often provide additional information to radiographs and make possible more precise diagnosis or assessment of results of treatment.
