Summary

Various screening tests provide a detailed representation of fibrous dysplasia: thermography, scintigraphy, computer tomography, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray microanalysis, microradiography and fluorescence microscopy.

The stationary nature of clinical and X-ray findings contrasts with the intensive structural changes that occur. The above-mentioned methods are examined with regard to differential diagnosis.

Zusammenfassung

Die fibröse Dysplasie wird aus der Sicht verschiedener Untersuchungsverfahren dargestellt: Thermographie, Szintigraphie, Computertomographie, Rasterelektronenmikroskopie, Röntgenmikrobereichsanalyse, Mikroradiographie, Fluorescenzmikroskopie.

Die über Jahre klinisch und röngenologisch stationären Befunde stehen im Gegensatz zu den intensiven Umbauprozessen. Die Methoden werden im Hinblick auf die Differentialdiagnostik geprüft.
