  • Title: Osteoid osteoma: radionuclide diagnosis.
    Author: Helms CA, Hattner RS, Vogler JB.
    Journal: Radiology; 1984 Jun; 151(3):779-84. PubMed ID: 6232642.
    Abstract:
    The double-density sign, seen on radionuclide bone scans, is described for diagnosing osteoid osteomas and for localizing the nidus. Its use in differentiating the nidus of an osteoid osteoma from osteomyelitis is also described. The utility of computed tomography in localization of the nidus is also illustrated. The double-density sign was helpful in diagnosing seven cases of surgically confirmed osteoid osteoma.
