Abstract
Radioisotopic bone scanning using technetium-99m labelled phosphate and diphosphonate compounds is a relatively new method of imaging the skeleton which has rapidly assumed major clinical importance. In this review the pathophysiology of bone uptake of radiopharmaceutical, the relative sensitivity of bone scan and radiograph, and the more important uses of bone scanning in clinical practice are described.
