[Computerized tomography and scintigraphy in the evaluation of osteoid osteoma].

The authors report their experience of bone scintigraphy and computed tomography in 19 patients, with suspected osteoid osteomas, who underwent surgery. Basing on surgical findings, the role of these techniques in diagnosis, surgical planning and follow-up of osteoid osteoma is stressed and the results are compared with those of conventional radiography.
