Abstract

Bone is a rigid connective tissue which provides support and protection for the organs and tissues of the body. Certain bones such as the skull, vertebrae, and ribs, marrow cavities serve as sites of blood formation. Bone also has an important function in mineral homeostasis. Scintigraphy plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of various skeletal diseases. The expanding use of this imaging modality in the area of benign bone disorders is particularly notable. Knowledge of the pathophysiologic features of the relevant diseases opens the way for effective utilization of different imaging modalities for the diagnosis of many conditions and helps proper interpretation of the studies.
