Title: Bone scintigraphy in the diagnosis of mastoiditis

Journal Article · · Clin. Nucl. Med.; (United States)
;

Bone scintigraphy has proven utility in the early diagnosis of osteomyelitis, but the authors were unable to find any report of its specific application to mastoiditis. Three cases of mastoiditis are presented in which the bone scan findings predicted the histopathologic findings.
