Prevalence and Patterns of Bone Metastases Detected with Positron Emission Tomography Using F-18 FDG

Abstract

The most frequent pattern of detectable bone metastases with FDG-PET imaging was multiple foci of intense uptake. PET revealed more lesions than did bone scanning, independent of the type of cancer or location of bone involvement, in patients who were accurately diagnosed by FDG-PET imaging.
