Abstract
Background: In this research, we aimed to survey the added value of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in comparison with planar whole body bone scan to visualize bone metastatic lesions in patients with breast cancer. Methods: A total of 80 patients with breast cancer (invasive ductal carcinoma) were examined with planar whole body ...Keywords
