Radiological detection of bone and bone marrow metastases.
Bone scintigraphy is the primary method for the diagnosis of skeletal metastases. This investigation is sensitive, but the interpretation must be performed in the knowledge that it is also nonspecific. Despite this, a correct diagnosis can usually be achieved. The first-hand supplementary investigation, after a doubtful scintigraphic finding, is radiography. In most cases this is sufficient for a diagnosis. When a scintigraphic abnormality cannot be adequately explained, usually because of a negative radiographic examination, a more sensitive modality must be used. Computerized tomography offers increased sensitivity and specificity, and is primarily used for this purpose. In this way contrast resolution is increased and problems caused by obscuring tissue and complicated anatomy are reduced. Since bone metastases migrate via the active bone marrow an alternative supplementary investigation is bone marrow scintigraphy. Its usefulness is restricted by disturbing activity, from the liver and the spleen, which obscures a significant part of the active marrow, and by the fact that a lesion must be of a certain size to become apparent. Magnetic resonance imaging yields excellent images of the extension of a tumor in soft tissue. Owing to high costs and restricted availability it is still mainly used for preoperative location of metastases.
