[Early recognition of bone metastases (comparative study between bone scintigraphy and x-ray examination)].
The examination shows, that in search for skeletal metastases the bone scintigraphy marks the bone-process in 45% while the X-ray is still silent. Therefore, we believe that the first examination in quest of skeletal metastases must first be a whole-body scintigraphy and then secondly, an X-ray examination with tomography, inasmuch as scintigraphy cannot give an exact differential diagnosis (degeneration, inflammation or destruction).
