Abstract
A case of severe rhabdomyolysis was reported in which, some 7 1/2 wk after its occurrence, a Ga scan was strongly positive, due to abscess formation in the damaged muscle. A bone scan was weakly positive in the same area, due to Ga photons. Bone scans are a very sensitive indicator of acute muscle damage and are useful to monitor its repair.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
