Book Chapter Description

Conclusions: Scintigraphy is a sensitive method for detecting disorders with increased bone turnover, but is in general not specific for disorders in the SCC region except for the bullhead-like sign in SCCH and PAO. It is, however, valuable when suspecting multifocal disorders. Leukocyte scintigraphy can add to the diagnosis of deep infections, especially when using SPECT. PET alone or in combination with CT (PET/CT) may be valuable in the diagnosis and follow-up of malignancies and possibly other disorders. © 2007 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
