STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. PURPOSE: To estimate the usefulness of bone scan and @entity2996 ( @entity2996 ) for the diagnosis of new @entity174 in @entity3604 . OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE: The diagnosis of new @entity3604 requires simple X-ray and supplementary studies. METHODS: We analyzed 87 vertebrae in 44 @entity1 , who diagnosed with @entity3604 using bone scan and @entity2996 within 2 months interval between August 2001 and July 2008. We compared hot uptakes in bone scan with @entity2996 findings such as new @entity174 , old @entity174 and @entity179 . RESULTS: Hot uptakes in bone scan was matched to 48 new @entity174 , 26 old @entity174 and 13 @entity179 in @entity2996 findings. It was 55% of concordance between hot uptakes in bone scan and new @entity174 in @entity2996 . The rate of new @entity174 confirmed by @entity2996 according to 1 level hot uptakes in bone scan was 96%, 2 levels was 50% and 3 more levels was 36%. CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis of new @entity174 in @entity3604 requires simple X-ray and supplementary studies such as bone scan and @entity2996 . We recommend more careful interpretation in multiple @entity3604 @entity1 about hot uptake lesions of bone scan.
