Abstract
The skeleton is one of the frequent site of metastases in advanced cancer. Prostate, breast and renal cancers mostly metastasize to bone. Malignant tumors lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Identification of bone lesions is a crucial step in diagnosis of disease at early stage, monitoring of disease progression and evaluation of therapy. Diagnosis of cancer metastases is based on uptake of bone-targeted radioactive tracer at different bone remodeling sites. This manuscript summarizes already established and evolving nuclear medicine modalities (e.g. bone scan, SPECT, SPECT/CT, PET, PET/CT) for imaging of bone metastases.
