Abstract
Radionuclide studies were considered a more sensitive indicator of the presence of the bony lesions of histiocytosis X in children than have radiographic bone surveys. The opposite is true. Although positive correlation between bone scans and radiographs was found in 8 of 9 patients, only 35% of the individual lesions visible on radiographs were seen on radionuclide studies. Results of radionuclide studies did not correlate with age or sex of the patient, presence or duration of symptoms, radiographic appearance, or anatomic location of lesions. The radiographic skeletal survey is more sensitive than radionuclide studies in detecting the skeletal lesions of histiocytosis X.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
