To establish a Chinese esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cell line with high bone metastasis potency using (99m)Tc-methylene diphosphonate ((99m)Tc-MDP) micro-pinhole scintigraphy, X ray and micro-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for exploring the mechanism of occurrence and development in esophageal cancer.
