## Abstract Reliable bone scans were obtained in 70 patients and 17 control subjects using 99mTc-labelled poly- or pyrophosphate with a minimum of patient disturbance. Using these radiopharmaceuticals and a gamma camera system a practical facility for efficient skeletal imaging is now available fo
A positive 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate bone scan was obtained in a case of pelvic osteomyelitis in a 15-year-old girl. An 111In-labelled leucocyte scan confirmed the presence of pus, gave a more accurate anatomical location than was obtained by the bone scan, and enabled the most suitable surgical
