Paget’s Disease of Bone

  • Chapter
Imaging of the Hip & Bony Pelvis

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

  • 2077 Accesses

23.8 Conclusions

Paget’s disease of bone may be disappearing. Complications of Paget’s disease remain common in the elderly and may require medical and/or surgical management. Recognition of the disease, its severity and extent on isotope bone scanning, CT and MR, as well as conventional radiography remain important. Recognition of the complications of Paget’s disease may require additional imaging.
