Radionuclide imaging in histiocytosis X

Radionuclide imaging (99mTc bone scans, 99mTc S colloid scans, 99mTc brain scans and 67gallium scans) and bone radiographs were done in 54 children with histiocytosis X. The results are discussed, compared with the literature and indications for the different nuclear medicine studies are given.
