The sensitivity of thermography to osseous metastases is compared to 99mTc bone scanning using the specificity of radiographic skeletal survey as proof of metastases. Thirty-five patients with suspected disease were selected for study. Bone scans detected 94.4% while thermograms detected 22.2%. Thermography proved quite insensitive to osseous metastases. Radionuclide bone scanning is the method of choice for the present.
将热成像对骨转移的敏感性与99m锝骨扫描进行比较，以X线骨骼检查的特异性作为转移的证据。选择35例疑似疾病患者进行研究。骨扫描检测出94.4%的转移灶，而热成像检测出22.2%。热成像对骨转移相当不敏感。目前，放射性核素骨扫描是首选方法。
