THE ROLE OF FLUORINE-18 AND STRONTIUM-87m SCINTIGRAPHY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF INFECTIVE SPONDYLITIS

Abstract
1. An ancillary diagnostic technique using Fluorine-l8 or Strontium-87m is described, and has assisted in the correct diagnosis of fifty-two patients admitted with the provisional diagnosis of infective spondylitis. 2. The technique is of particular value in the assessment of reactivation of chronic spinal infections and in the differential diagnosis of atypical lesions.
