The nuclear bone scan is a highly sensitive means of detecting skeletal metastasis in patients with prostatic cancer. Serial bone imaging provides an accurate method to follow the response of osseous metastases to treatment and to detect relapsing disease in the skeleton. In selected instances the nuclear bone scan can provide information about vertebral metastases that can be important for planning palliative treatment of pain.
核素骨扫描是检测前列腺癌患者骨骼转移的一种高度敏感的方法。连续骨显像提供了一种准确的方法来跟踪骨转移对治疗的反应，并检测骨骼中的复发性疾病。在某些特定情况下，核素骨扫描可以提供有关椎体转移的信息，这对于规划疼痛的姑息治疗可能很重要。
