Imaging of Bone Metastases

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Bone metastases have become more common due to the successful prolongation of the lives of many cancer patients. Imaging plays an integral role in the staging of newly diagnosed malignancies and is essential for the follow-up of these patients throughout their therapeutic course. The roles of standard imaging such as radiography, CT, conventional MRI; functional imaging such as skeletal scintigraphy and positron emission tomography (PET/CT and PET/MRI); and advanced imaging such as whole-body MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging will be discussed.
