    Author: Sisayan R, Elgazzar AH, Webner PJ, Religioso DG.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1996 Jul; 21(7):523-6. PubMed ID: 8818462.
    Abstract:
    The authors present a cases of acute chest syndrome that was originally thought to be due to pneumonia, in which bone imaging obtained 4 weeks later for knee pain showed a secondary finding of multiple rib infarcts that clarified the etiology of the patient's chest manifestations and led to a change in the management of the patient. Bone scintigraphy should be considered in the work-up of patients with sickle cell anemia and concurrent chest symptoms.
