Title: Value of nuclear bone imaging in advanced prostatic cancer

Journal Article · · J. Urol.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5857890

The nuclear bone scan is a highly sensitive means of detecting skeletal metastasis in patients with prostatic cancer. Serial bone imaging provides an accurate method to follow the response of osseous metastases to treatment and to detect relapsing disease in the skeleton. In selected instances the nuclear bone scan can provide information about vertebral metastases that can be important for planning palliative treatment of pain.
