Quantitative Bone Scanning in the Diagnosis of Aluminium Osteomalacia

Skeletal uptake of diphosphonate was measured by emission tomography in 30 patients on chronic dialysis treatment. In 19 patients mean plasma aluminium concentrations, measured over the preceding 12 months, were ‘high’ (>1.0 μmol/l, and in the other 11 were ‘low’ (
