Description
Bone scans of 35 patients were evaluated as to the quality and the number of bone lesions that could be detected at studies 2 hours and 3 hours after injection of Tc-99m HDP. It was found that 2 hour bone scans are of high ''cosmetic'' and diagnostic quality and that all lesions present at 3 hour scans are well visualized at 2 hours. These features are among the major advantages of the use of Tc-99m HDP over other diphosphonates
