  • Title: [Radionuclide diagnosis of local inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis].
    Author: Vezikova NN, Ignat'ev VK.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1995; 67(12):43-6. PubMed ID: 8820057.
    Abstract:
    Radionuclide scintigraphy with osteotropic radiopharmaceuticals labelled 99Tc proved highly sensitive in assessment of local inflammation. Osteoscintigraphy allows detection of preclinical and pre-x-ray lesions in the joints in RA and assessment of the treatment efficacy. Characteristic signs of the radionuclide distribution and accumulation can serve as a prompt in differential diagnosis of RA, DOA, reactive and gouty arthritis.
