[Computed tomography in the diagnosis of isolated bone metastases and its influence in therapy planning].
In a collective of 70 patients with bone metastases the importance of CT for detection and extension diagnosis is shown. In 53% CT proved the scintigraphic and/or roentgenologic suspicion. In 30% CT gave more information than scintigraphy and plain radiography, but without any influence in the treatment. In 17% only CT gave such important information, that the planned treatment must be changed. The results led to the conclusion, that CT can be important for the optimization of radiological treatment.
