Since its introduction more than 40 years ago, nuclear medicine has played an important role in the diagnosis and detection of soft tissue and skeletal disorders. Skeletal scintigraphy or bone scanning is a diagnostic study used to evaluate the distribution of osteoblastic activity or active bone formation within the body. Because no single imaging technique is ideal in all clinical situations, selecting an appropriate imaging test depends on understanding the pathophysiology of the suspected condition and limitations of each technique. This article provides a brief overview of bone scintigraphy, infection imaging, and positron emission tomography in the context of current, adult orthopedic practice.
自40多年前引入以来，核医学在软组织和骨骼疾病的诊断与检测中发挥了重要作用。骨骼闪烁扫描术或骨扫描是一种用于评估体内成骨细胞活性或活跃骨形成分布的诊断性检查。由于没有一种单一的成像技术在所有临床情况下都是理想的，因此选择合适的成像检查取决于对疑似病症的病理生理学以及每种技术局限性的理解。本文结合当前成人骨科实践，简要概述骨扫描、感染成像和正电子发射断层扫描。
