| 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 8 Gy, 20 Gy/5#, 30 Gy/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. |
