☆Symposium: Imaging modalities for drug-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (5), utility of bone scintigraphy and 18F-FDG PET/CT in early detection and risk assessment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (secondary publication)

Summary: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a significant side effect of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic drugs.
