Bone scintigraphy: whole-body reading
- Technique
- Scintigraphy
- Observation
- Assess symmetry and focal uptake.
- Limitation
- Grayscale alone cannot quantify uptake.
Morphological description
Assess symmetry and focal uptake.
Interpretation and diagnostic limits
The source illustrates the imaging method.
Differential diagnoses
Increased uptake is not specific for metastases.
Pitfalls
Grayscale alone cannot quantify uptake.
Take-home message
Localise findings before interpreting them.
