[A review of bone scintigraphy in metastases from urological malignancies in adults].
Bone scintigraphy still is a first line examination to assess bone extension from urological cancers. Technological progress of note has been the arrival of gamma cameras associated with computed tomography with fusion imaging which increases the scintigraphy performance. Nevertheless, bone scintigraphy indications have decreased particularly for the initial assessment of prostate cancer over many years.
