SAAVEDRA CARRENO, Sandra R.; VALLEJOS CORTEZ, Jean Pool y BASTAMENTE BUTRON, Rafael. Nuclear medicine: application in pathology osteoarticular. REVISTA MEDICIS [online]. 2010, n.6, pp. 36-39. ISSN 1818-5223.
Bone sean, planar or Spect (single photon emission computed tomography) technique is the most frequently nuclear medicine procedures used in the osteoarticular applications. Other procedure, especially Galium 67, is also used. Bone sean is a safe, painless and cost-effective procedure to get information in a wide variety of diseases: malignancies, sports injuries, fractures, infections, inflammations, etc. Very early in the course of these diseases, it is possible to obtain a positive bone sean that reflects both: osteoblastic activity and skeletal vascular abnormalities. However the specificity is much less than the sensitivity of the bone sean procedure, but frequently the final diagnosis can be made by correlating the bone image with clinical data and radiographic findings.
