Certain easily recognisable features are commonly seen in the bone scans of patients with metabolic bone disorders. Seven such features have been numerically graded by three independent observers in the scans of 100 patients with metabolic bone disease and of 50 control subjects. The total score for

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Advanced tumors often metastasize to bone, resulting in a variety of skeletal complications. Bisphosphonates are potent inhibitors of osteoclastβmediated bone resorption that reduce the incidence and delay the onset of skeletal complications and reduce the need for radiat
Eight patients with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and hypercalcemia, osteopenia, or vertebral compression fractures seen at our institution during the last 12 years were evaluated for biochemical evidence of bone disease. Five patients were hypercalcemic, three had abnormal phosphorou
To assess the use of quantitative bone scanning (QBS) in the monitoring of patients with intravenous pamidronate-treated symptomatic monostotic Paget's disease of bone in whom biochemical markers of bone turnover are relatively normal. Methods. QBS was performed in 9 patients and the results were e
