[Diagnostic value of radionuclide bone imaging in monitoring skeletal metastases (author's transl)].

In typical cases with pelvic metastases a close relationship is demonstrated between nuclear medicine and radiologic findings depending on the kind of therapy. For this reason total body radionuclide studies should not only be recommended for screening but also for therapeutic monitoring. Positive radionuclide findings should be supplemented by roentgenologic studies of the areas selected in that way.
