Abstract
Bone is a rigid connective tissue which provides support and protection for the organs and tissue of the body. Within certain bones such as the skull, vertebrae, and ribs, marrow cavities serve as sites of blood formation. Bone also has an important function in mineral homeostasis. Scintigraphy plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of various skeletal diseases, and the expanding use of this imaging modality in the area of benign bone disorders is particularly notable.
