Bone scintigraphy is a useful imaging modality in breast cancer, by assessing the presence of metastasis with osteoblastic activity. Nevertheless, information on its appropriate use is sparse and the evidence supporting it is limited. The purpose of this article is to review and synthesize the current recommendations for ordering bone scintigraphy in the staging and surveillance of patients with breast cancer, as well as in monitoring metastatic disease. It aims to provide a convenient tool for clinical practice, so that bone scintigraphy use results in benefits for the patient, simultaneously with a rational consumption of health-care resources.
