It presents a review of the main applications of scintigraphy in oncology. We discuss the most important features of each application, with illustrations in this regard.

Special attention is given to more recent applications, developed in recent years, such as PET scan using FDG, sentinel node detection, and oncologic applications of radiopharmaceuticals such as 99mTc-sestamibi and 99mTc-MDP. Also mentioned are less used applications such as scintigraphic studies in brain and neuroendocrine tumors.
