Abstract
Background:
The skeleton is one of the frequent site of metastases in advanced cancer.
Prostate, breast and renal cancers mostly metastasize to bone.
Discussion:
Malignant tumors lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Identification of bone
lesions is a crucial step in diagnosis of disease at early stage, monitoring of disease progression and
evaluation of therapy. Diagnosis of cancer metastases is based on uptake of bone-targeted radioactive
tracer at different bone remodeling sites.
Conclusion:
This manuscript summarizes already established and evolving nuclear medicine modalities
(e.g. bone scan, SPECT, SPECT/CT, PET, PET/CT) for imaging of bone metastases.
