  • Title: Radionucleotide scanning in osteomyelitis.
    Author: Sachs W, Kanat IO.
    Journal: J Foot Surg; 1986; 25(4):311-4. PubMed ID: 3734336.
    Abstract:
    Radionucleotide bone scanning can be an excellent adjunct to the standard radiograph and clinical findings in the diagnosis of osteomyelitis. Bone scans have the ability to detect osteomyelitis far in advance of the standard radiograph. The sequential use of technetium and gallium has been useful in differentiating cellulitis and osteomyelitis. Serial scanning with technetium and gallium may be used to monitor the response of osteomyelitis to antibiotic therapy.
