Tc-99m MDP and indium-111 chloride scintigraphy in skeletal tuberculosis

Journal Article · · Clin. Nucl. Med.; (United States)
; ; ;
A case of diffuse osseous tuberculosis with changes on skeletal Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate (MDP) and indium-111 chloride scintigraphy is presented. Only two other cases of bone scan findings in osseous tuberculosis (TB) were reported in the literature and both show patterns similar to diffuse metastatic disease. In addition, the demonstration of corresponding areas of decreased tracer activity on indium-111 bone marrow scintigraphy is a finding that has not been previously reported for skeletal tuberculosis.
