title: [Skeletal scintigraphy in hemangioma of the bones].
abstract: The results of scintigraphic investigations of the skeleton of 76 bone hemangioma patients were analyzed to study the informative value of this type of investigation and to determine the efficacy of its use during establishing diagnosis and dynamic observation. The probability of detection of bone hemangiomas using scintigraphy of the skeleton with 99m Tc labeled osteotropic agents was shown to be in direct relation to the biological activity of hemangioma, its site and resolution of radiodiagnostic apparatus. The utilization of scintigraphy of the skeleton in addition to x-ray investigation permits clarification of the nature of lesion (benign or malignant), the biological activity of hemangiomas, control of the time course of a pathological process and efficacy of therapy of biologically active hemangiomas.
