Bone Metastases Imaging

Bone metastases imaging involves using specialized scans to detect cancer that has spread to the bones. Common methods include X-rays, which can show changes in bone structure; bone scans, which highlight areas with increased activity often caused by cancer; MRI, which provides detailed images of bone and surrounding tissues; and CT scans, which give detailed cross-sectional views. These imaging techniques help doctors identify the presence, location, and extent of cancer spread in the bones, guiding treatment decisions and monitoring the effectiveness of therapies.
