Kim, Kim, Suh, Kim, Kim, and Kang: The Clinical Value of Strontum 85 Bone Scanning

Abstract

The kinetics of strontium metabolism in man has been extensively reviewed by Bauer and his collegues. Photoscanning of bone lesions utilizing (Sr-85) have been a recent contribution to the clinical usefulness. The authors studied 60 cases of various skeletal lesions with strontium 85 bone scanning. Increased uptake of Sr-85 was observed on the lesions of metastatic cancer, osteosarcoma, giant cell tumor, chondroblastoma, reticulum cell sarcoma, chloroma, delayed union of fracture, healing fracture, postradiation fracture, chronic osteomyelitis (including 5 infected compound fracture), chronic arthritis, aseptic necrosis of femur head, osteoarthritis of spine, ricket, osteogenesis imperfecta, hemophilic arthropathy, epiphysiodesis, and more unconfirmed diseases.
