- Abstract:
- A variety of 99m-Tc-phosphate compounds are sensitive and reliable for scintigraphic diagnosis of bone diseases. Therefore bone scan has become a safe method for evaluating patients with suspected acute hematogenous osteomyelitis. So we were able to perform early and adequate treatment without evidence of bony changes in the radiograph. Quantitative regional measurements with a relative uptake ratio was found to be a clinically useful parameter in the follow-up of osteomyelitis.
