title: Response monitoring to bisphosphonate therapy in monostotic paget disease using (18)F-FDG PET/CT.
abstract: Paget disease is a benign bone disorder characterized by abnormal bone absorption and mineralization, resulting in bone deformity and fragility. Currently, bisphosphonates form the cornerstone of treatment for Paget disease. We report the case of a 67-year-old man with monostotic Paget disease, where F-FDG PET/CT was used for assessment of response to bisphosphonate therapy.
