Sternal infarction in sickle-cell anemia: concise communication

H T Harcke, M A Capitanio, J L Naiman

    Journal of Nuclear Medicine : Official Publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine
    |April 1, 1981

    Summary

    Bone scintigraphy revealed sternal bone infarcts in children with sickle-cell anemia. Anterior oblique views best visualized these infarcts as reduced bone tracer uptake.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric imaging
    • Hematology
    • Nuclear medicine

    Background:

    • Sickle-cell anemia is a genetic blood disorder.
    • Bone complications are common in sickle-cell anemia.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate sternal bone infarcts in children with sickle-cell anemia using bone scintigraphy.

    Main Methods:

    • Bone scintigraphy was performed on six children with sickle-cell anemia.
    • Anterior oblique views of the thorax were utilized for optimal visualization.

    Main Results:

    • Bone scintigraphy demonstrated infarction in bony segments of the sternum.
    • Infarcts appeared as areas of decreased bone tracer accumulation on scintigraphy.

    Conclusions:

    • Bone scintigraphy is effective in identifying sternal infarcts in pediatric sickle-cell anemia patients.
    • Anterior oblique views enhance the detection of these specific bone lesions.
