Abstract
Twenty-five patients with osteolytic metastases had computed tomography (CT) scans before and 3 months after palliative radiotherapy. The median % density change following single 8Gy, 20Gy/5#, 30Gy/10# were: 128 (range 98-255), 141 (79-342), and 145 (65-235), respectively. It is feasible to evaluate remineralization of osteolytic lesions with palliative radiotherapy.
