  • Title: Splenic concentration of bone imaging agents in functional asplenia.
    Author: Dhekne RD.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1981 Jul; 6(7):313-7. PubMed ID: 6786810.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of sickle cell disease associated with functional asplenia are described. The spleen was not visualized on routine Tc-99m-sulfur colloid scan. The bone scan performed with Tc-99m-phosphate compounds revealed abnormal splenic activity in all three cases. The previous case reports and the literature on this subject are reviewed.
