The radiograph was obtained from a forty year-old female with diagnosed breast cancer and discomfort on the right shoulder. The aim of the study was to determine whether it is possible to observe early bone metastasis with plane radiography using the so called scanning method. Plotting the intensity distribution along the rows of the image is a fast, qualitative way to know if the bone has some abnormality. If the curves are &#8220;smooth&#8221; then the bone is healthy, but if they are discontinuous then it is sick. To obtain quantitative results, the rows intensities were analyzed around discontinuous zones. Using this technique it was possible to observe bone degradations of the order of 11%.]]></p></abstract>

La radiografía se obtuvo de una mujer de cuarenta años de edad diagnosticada con cáncer de mama y molestias en el hombro derecho. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar si es posible observar metástasis ósea temprana en una radiografía plana utilizando el método de escaneo. Graficar la distribución de intensidad de las filas de la imagen es una manera rápida y cualitativa de saber si el hueso tiene alguna anormalidad. Si las curvas son "suaves" entonces el hueso está sano, pero si son discontinuas entonces está enfermo. Para obtener resultados cuantitativos, se debe analizar la intensidad de las filas alrededor de las zonas discontinuas. Utilizando esta técnica fue posible observar una degradación ósea del orden del 11%.]]></p></abstract>
