  • 1. Montreal General Hospital, Quebec (Canada). Div. of Nuclear Medicine

Description

The radiographic distinction between bone cement impregnated with barium, the metal prothesis, and the contrast agent may be difficult, or the metal prothesis may shield the contrast agent from the X-ray beam. This is not a problem with the radionuclide photon emission following intracavitary administration. (orig.)
