Splenic accumulation of /sup 99m/Tc-diphosphonate is shown in the bone scan of a patient with sickle cell disease. This uptake is assumed to result from splenic infarction and subsequent calcification. The conventional liver- spleen scan with /sup 99m/Tc-sulfur colloid shows no splenic activity, and a radiograph shows calcification in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen in the expected anatomic location of the spleen.
