Abstract:
Despite hyperemia in the blood-pool phase of bone scintigraphy with 99mTc-MDP there was an decreased concentration of the nuclide in a 7-year-old boy with acute osteomyelitis of the femur. In addition to inflammatory destruction of the bone tissue, the other reason for this surprising scintigraphic finding might be a reduced blood flow because of thrombotic occlusion or compression of bone-supplying vessels.
