Abstract
Bone scintigraphy reflects the intensity of metabolic activity in the bone and therefore is a functional and not a morphological image. The sensitivity in detecting metastatic tumors of the skeleton has been proven to be much higher than X-ray techniques in many, but not in all, entities of primaries, while the specificity of conventional static imaging is very low. In secondaries, an increase in specificity by dynamic imaging is limited, the important differentiation between primary bone tumor and atypical osteomyelitis is impossible [1]. We will discuss the usefulness and limitations of dynamic bone scintigraphy in the diagnosis and follow-up of primary malignant tumors of the skeleton.
