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

99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) bone scintigraphy demonstrated localization in an intracranial metastasis of osteogenic sarcoma. This unusual case suggests that bone scintigraphy may have diagnostic value in the early diagnosis of metastatic ossifying lesions.
The kinetics of 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) and 47Ca were studied in three patients with osteoporosis, three patients with hyperparathyroidism, and two patients with osteomalacia. The activities of 99mTc-MDP were recorded in the lumbar spine, paravertebral soft tissues, and in venous blood s
