Abstract
The recent survey of nuclear medicine activity in the United Kingdom (Wall et al, 1985) showed that bone scans now account for one quarter of all nuclear medicine procedures in this country and since the introduction of the technetium-99m-labelled phosphonate compounds, the number has increased nearly ten-fold in the last decade. Not only is it by far the most frequent nuclear medicine investigation but it was most widely available in terms of the number of hospitals performing these studies. This pre-eminent importance of bone scanning has doubtless accounted for the number of new publications dealing solely with this aspect of nuclear medicine that have been published in the last year. The present book is certainly a very useful and well produced contribution, in the series Current Practice in Nuclear Medicine.
