目的：癌症分期对于制定适当的治疗计划和帮助预测预后至关重要。骨扫描上放射性核素摄取增加的孤立区域（“热点”）可能代表转移或伪装病变。可能需要活检，以确定其组织学性质，但定位的网站可能是困难的，因为骨扫描提供了差的空间resolution.Methods：在两名乳腺癌患者，放射性锝静脉注射和伽玛探头术前和术中使用，以确定该网站的颅骨参与。结果如下：病灶切除;一个是良性纤维骨病变，一个是转移性乳腺癌。结论：伽玛探头可能有助于定位放射性摄取部位确定骨扫描。
Purpose: Staging of cancer is essential to formulate appropriate treatment plans and to help predict prognosis. A solitary region of increased radionuclide uptake (''hot spot") on a bone scan may represent a metastasis or a masquerading lesion. Biopsy may be required to determine its histologic nature, but localization of the site may be difficult because bone scans provide poor spatial resolution.Methods: In two patients with breast carcinoma, radioactive technetium was administered intravenously and a gamma probe was used preoperatively and intraoperatively to identify the site of cranial bone involvement. Results: The lesions were resected; one was a benign fibro-osseous lesion and one was a metastatic breast adenocarcinoma.Conclusions: A gamma probe may be helpful in localizing the site of radioactive uptake identified by bone scan.
