|January 1, 1979
Abstract:
In children, radionuclide skeletal imaging with 99m Tc M. D.P. has been performed in 50 cases. Scans are done immediately, 20 minutes and three hours after injection. Osteomyelitis has been studied in 24 cases, Legg Perthes disease and benign bone tumors in the others. The scintigraphic patterns are very sensitive but not characteristic. However this exam seems to be essential in some orthopedic disorders of children.
