Improved method for quantitative bone scanning.
A quantitative gamma-camera technique is used to calculate the percentage of administered activity taken up by various areas of the skeleton. The method uses an external standard source of activity as a reference, and in addition presents the information in a new format, the Organ Uptake Image (OUI). Two cases of Paget's disease serve to illustrate the usefulness of this approach to quantitative bone imaging.
