  • Title: Scintigraphic appearances of osteoid osteoma.
    Author: Smith FW, Gilday DL.
    Journal: Radiology; 1980 Oct; 137(1 Pt 1):191-5. PubMed ID: 6448428.
    Abstract:
    A series of 42 osteoid osteomas is reviewed, and the scintigraphic appearances are described. In all cases, a marked, well-localized area of increased activity was demonstrated at the tumor site in both the blood-pool and standard two-hour images. The blood-pool images were performed after the injection of technetium-99m methylene diphosphate which showed a small hyperemic lesion in all cases of osteoid osteoma, thus distinguishing this tumor from other lesions which may show uptake of radionuclide activity after two hours.
