Description

An experience with bone scintigraphy as part of an overall investigation of a patient with prostatic cancer prior to any treatment was reported. This experience was based on a series of 100 cases. Emphasis was laid on the value of this diagnostic method that makes it possible to detect radiologically undetectable bone metastases in 25% of the investigated patients
