[Does bone metabolic activity determined scintigraphically correlate with calcium and phosphorus measurements by x-ray microanalysis?].

An animal experiment on bone healing of dental implants offered the opportunity of comparing scintigraphic images with histological findings, specially with electron microscope results and analysis of the calcium and phosphorus values in different stages. The clear correspondence between the scintigraphic results and the calcification level of the new bone parts must be seen with reservation because of possible methodical mistakes of the radio-micro-analysis from surfaces and of intraindividual differences.
