This study provides the first quantitative indication of the limits of sensitivity of a bone scan with technetium (99Tc-MDP) in detecting skeletal metastases and thereby also helps to explain the fact that bone scans may be negative when metastases are present in the bone marrow. Since 99Tc-MDP remains the least noxious and most widely used isotope for bone scanning, these results have direct clinical relevance in the evaluation of patients with solid tumors and possible metastatic spread.
