title: A comparison of radiographic and bone scan findings in histiocytosis X.
abstract: In 17 patients with histologically proven histiocytosis X radiographs and bone scans were compared. The radiographic skeletal survey is superior to bone scanning for the primary detection of bony lesions. In contrast, skeletal scans are more reliable in follow-up examinations and for the detection of recurrences.
