title: The place of the 99mTc-polyphosphonate bone scan in renal carcinoma.
abstract: Forty-two bone images carried out on 33 patients with renal carcinoma have been evaluated. The bone image seems more sensitive than conventional radiology in detecting bone secondaries, but covert metastases are unlikely in the patient presenting with purely urological symptoms.
