Description
Summary:Twelve patients with tumors and three with osteitis of the extremities were studied using 99mTc-labelled tetracycline in order to image the process with gamma camera. The diagnosis of all cases were verified histologically. The labelled tetracycline was found to give positive images for the most malignant tumors and active osteitis which together comprised about half of the studied cases.
