A comparison of radionuclide bone scans with other methods of monitoring disease status was undertaken in a series of 51 children with neuroblastoma. The radionuclide bone scan was more accurate than either conventional radiographic studies or physical examination in localizing the primary tumor. When the extent of bony metastatic disease was evaluated, the bone scan and radiographic skeletal surveys were generally both positive, but the bone scan tended to show evidence of greater metastatic disease than radiographs.

Key Words: neuroblastoma • nuclear medicine • bone scan
