This report provides new morphological insights, based on diagnostic methods, into metastases to the bone in prostate cancer patients. Lumbar CT examination is available to evaluate whether metastases are truly present or not, especially in aged patients with positive bone scans. The evaluation of response is clearer on CT. Furthermore, CT is useful not only in estimating the presence of metastases, CT also provides definite details on the extent of the metastatic condition.
