  • Title: Degenerative disc disease. A cause for diagnostic dilemma on In-111 WBC studies in suspected osteomyelitis.
    Author: Even-Sapir E, Martin RH.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1994 May; 19(5):388-92. PubMed ID: 8039309.
    Abstract:
    The authors present three patients with degenerative disc disease (one asymptomatic patient, one febrile patient without spinal infection, and one patient with spinal infection) and cold vertebral lesions on In-111 WBC imaging. These cases illustrate the diagnostic dilemma degenerative disc disease may pose when interpreting an In-111 WBC study in suspected osteomyelitis.
