Flash information
- Technique
- Scintigraphy
- Observation
- Assess symmetry and focal uptake.
- Limitation
- Grayscale alone cannot quantify uptake.
Definition
Distribution of a bone-seeking tracer.
Reading method
Compare anterior and posterior views.
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.
Clinical correlation
Correlate history, pain and other investigations.
Clinical impact
Urgency depends on clinical context.
Pitfalls
Grayscale alone cannot quantify uptake.
Take-home message
Localise findings before interpreting them.
