Splenic concentration of bone imaging agents in functional asplenia

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

Three cases of sickle cell disease associated with functional asplenia are described. The spleen was not visualized on routine Tc-99m-sulfur colloid scan. The bone scan performed with Tc-99m-phosphate compounds revealed abnormal splenic activity in all three cases. The previous case reports and the literature on this subject are reviewed.
