Measurements of bone-seeking radiopharmaceutical uptake obtained at the beginning of this two-year study of beagles with periodontal disease were correlated with the amount of bone loss which occurred during the study. Uptake correlated with bone loss (r=.85), which suggests that uptake may be an indicator of future bone loss.
