ABSTRACT

We have compared bone images from a number of patients using three instruments. In 38 patients, Cleon body images were compared with whole body rectilinear scans. Cleon images were also compared with scintillation camera images of the trunk or extremities of 31 patients and of the skull of 70 patients. The Cleon was superior to the rectilinear scanner in resolution, lesion detectability, and speed of scanning. The Cleon and gamma camera were comparable in lesion detection, but the Cleon was considerably faster. Clinical studies and comparative evaluation are presented.
