  • Title: Tc-99m MDP bone imaging in inflammatory enthesopathy.
    Author: Aburano T, Yokoyama K, Taki J, Nakajima K, Tonami N, Hisada K.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1990 Feb; 15(2):105-6. PubMed ID: 2311317.
    Abstract:
    A case is presented in which uptake of Tc-99m MDP was noted at the sites of tendon and ligament attachments to the calcaneus in inflammatory enthesopathy. Following successful treatment with corticosteroids, the uptake was markedly decreased in accordance with subsidence of clinical manifestations and normalization of laboratory data. Radionuclide bone imaging may be useful in evaluating the response to treatment with corticosteroids as well as revealing the active disease sites in inflammatory enthesopathy.
