superscan

Superscan is intense symmetric activity in the bones with diminished renal and soft tissue activity on a Tc diphosphonate bone scan.

Pathology

This appearance can result from a range of etiological factors:

Radiographic appearance

A metastatic superscan tends to have uptake throughout the axial skeleton and proximal appendicular skeleton, often somewhat heterogeneous. In contrast, a metabolic superscan tends to be more uniform and involve both the axial and more peripheral skeleton, including the distal extremities, calvarium, and mandible.
