Decreased gallium uptake in acute hematogenous osteomyelitis

Journal Article · · Clin. Nucl. Med.; (United States)
Decreased radiopharmaceutical uptake was noted on both bone and gallium scans in the case of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis of the right ilium (acetabular roof). This combination of findings is probably rare. The mechanism of decreased gallium uptake is unknown, but may be related to decreased blood flow.
