Description

The objectives of the present work are: a) to compare different radionuclides in the diagnosis of bone and soft tissue tumours; b) to evaluate the role of 99mTc-MIBI uptake and washout kinetics in assessing the tumour response to initial chemotherapy; c) to study the diagnostic efficacy of different radionuclides in detecting recurrent bone and soft tissue tumours (STS) of the extremities in comparison to CT and/or MRI
