Bone Scintigraphy in Tuberculous Sacroiliitis

Radionuclide bone imaging is becoming increasingly important in the evaluation of musculoskeletal pain of uncertain cause. A case in which Tc-99m MDP bone imaging was employed to investigate complaints of low back pain is presented. Scan abnormalities directed clinicians towards appropriate further...

Description
Summary:Radionuclide bone imaging is becoming increasingly important in the evaluation of musculoskeletal pain of uncertain cause. A case in which Tc-99m MDP bone imaging was employed to investigate complaints of low back pain is presented. Scan abnormalities directed clinicians towards appropriate further workup and diagnosis of unilateral tuberculous sacroiliitis.
