Abstract

Bone scintigraphy (SO) with bisphosphate labeled with 99mTc remains indicated in the guidelines for the detection of bone metastases before treatment of intermediate risk and high risks of recurrence prostate cancers (PC). SO remains also indicated in the evaluation of response to treatment of metastatic bone disease. Its main advantages are its availability, as it is performed routinely in all nuclear medicine centers in France, and very high performances, since whole-body Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography (SPECT/CT) hybrid tomoscintigraphy almost systematically completes whole-body scanning. We propose in this article to review this technique at all clinical stages of CP.
