The value of radionuclide bone imaging in selected patients with osteogenic sarcoma metastatic to lung

Pediatr Radiol. 1980 Apr;9(3):139-43. doi: 10.1007/BF01464307.

Abstract

Bone scintigraphic findings are presented in three pediatric patients with osteogenic sarcoma metastatic to lung. The bone imaging radionuclide was concentrated to a variable degree within the pulmonary metastases. Radionuclide bone imaging was valuable in confirming the presence of metastatic disease to lung in two patients and diagnosing previously unsuspected pulmonary metastatic disease in one patient.
