  • Title: Bone scintigraphy in blastomycotic osteomyelitis.
    Author: Daniel BL, Crabbe JP, Gritters L, Shapiro B.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1993 Mar; 18(3):203-7. PubMed ID: 8462209.
    Abstract:
    A case of disseminated North American blastomycosis is described in which the full extent of the multifocal osteomyelitis was depicted by Tc-99m MDP scintigraphy. Skeletal involvement by this disease is not uncommon, yet the utility of bone scintigraphy has not been reported. The efficacy with which the whole body may be examined makes this technique especially appropriate for a hematogenously disseminated and often multifocal form of osteomyelitis where radiographically occult and asymptomatic lesions may be present.
