Abstract
99mTc pyrophosphate bone images were contrasted with radiographic findings in 2 patients with osteopoikilosis, 1 with osteopathia striata and 1 with melorheostosis. Despite the striking radiographic findings, scans were normal in osteopoikilosis and osteopathia striata. In melorheostosis, focal increased radiopharmaceutical accumulation appeared in each radiographically abnormal area. 99mTc pyrophosphate bone imaging should prove helpful when superimposed osseous disease must be differentiated from osteopoikilosis, osteopathia striata or melorheostosis.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
