Conventional Imaging Computerized Tomography

The most effective whole-body screening test for bone metastases is radionuclide bone scans. Conventional radiography is the best method for characterizing metastatic lesions. In addition, conventional radiographs are useful for representing imminent or early pathological fractures. Radiographic sensitivity depends on the extent, location and type of bone metastases. Therefore, normal radiographs in patients with positive bone scans or persistent and unexplained pain should be suspicious. In these cases, the CT scan can establish the diagnosis. However, metastatic lesions in the medullary space without architectural changes to the surrounding bone can only be detected by MRI. The use of computed tomography is also useful in determining the local extent of bone destruction and its extent in the surrounding soft tissue when planning surgery or radiation therapy.
