title: Diagnostic procedures for Paget's disease. Radiologic, pathologic, and laboratory testing.
abstract: Paget's disease is a relatively common skeletal disorder that affects older individuals. Although its causes are unknown, it is characterized by abnormal remodeling and a high rate of bone turnover that determines its pathologic, radiologic, and biochemical findings. The findings in the three phases of Paget's disease are described.
