The distribution of skeletal metastases in breast and pulmonary cancer: concise communication.
In a review of all radionuclide bone scans performed in a 3-mo period, 318 patients with established tumor diagnosis were studied. In this tumor population the incidence of skeletal metastases was statistically similar (p = 0.7), and regional distribution of lesion involvement was, in decreasing order, thorax, spine, pelvis, limbs, and skull. In the two largest tumor groups (breast and lung) the regional distribution of metastases was not different when examined for both the presence and the number of lesions (p greater than 0.1). In particular, the incidence of rib metastases was similar( p greater than 0.99) as was their frequency distribution (0.78). Indeed, the frequency distribution of rib metastases was similar for all major tumor categories (p = 0.83).

Right renal pelvis visualization in females: incidental detection in routine bone scanning.
A 22% incidence of renal pelvis or calyceal "hot spot" anomalies was found incidental to routine bone scanning. The majority of these anomalies were due to bilateral or right renal pelvis visualization, and statistical analysis determined there to be a significant female incidence, and persistence in repeat studies. This suggests an anatomical or functional basis for this finding.
