Abstract
Bone scans and X-rays from 23 subjects with symptomatic Paget's disease were evaluated. One-hundred and twenty-seven sites of Pagetoid involvement were found, of which 120 (94.5%) were recognised on the bone scan as compared to 94 (74%) on X-ray. The anatomical distribution and relationship of lesions on scan and X-ray to the patient's symptoms are also discussed. It is concluded that the bone scan is more sensitive than radiology in detecting Paget's disease and only rarely will a lesion that is seen on X-ray not be visualised by scanning.Keywords
