although it is difficult to differentiate benign changes of the vertebrae from the metastases on the bases of scintigram findings only , a cushion-like pattern in disc degeneration as well as in colapse of the vertebral body , a vague concentration with indistinct margin in spondlyosis deformans , and symmetrical accumulations in the intervertebral joints due to sclerotic changes are helpful in evaluating the bone scintigram of cancer patients , together with the site of abnormal accumulation and the age of the patient .
