Description

Although skeleton scintigraphy is a relatively 'young' method when compared with other scintigraphic techniques, it is of great value in the diagnosis of benign skeleton diseases. For a full exploitation of the diagnostic possibilities of nuclear medicine, however, close cooperation between clinical rheumatologists, orthopaedic surgeons, radiologists and experts in nuclear medicine. If the right method is used at the right time, the number of X-rays and thus the technical and financial expenditure may be reduced to a considerable degree. (GSE)

Abstract (German)

Die Skelettszintigraphie ist im Vergleich mit anderen szintigraphischen Verfahren eine noch relativ 'junge' Methode. Sie besitzt dennoch einen hohen Stellenwert bei der Diagnostik benigner Skeletterkrankungen. Die diagnostisch volle Ausschoepfung der nuklearmedizinischen Untersuchungsmoeglichkeiten erfordert jedoch eine sehr enge Kooperation zwischen klinischem Rheumatologen, Orthopaeden, Radiologen und Nuklearmedizinern. Durch Einsatz der richtigen Methode zum richtigen Zeitpunkt koennen die Zahl der Roentgenaufnahmen und damit der technische sowie finanzielle Untersuchungsaufwand erheblich verringert werden. (GSE)
