“…Differentiation between a malignant and benign primary bone tumour is rarely possible with nuclear medicine in cases of increased bone metabolism (Schaub and Hahn 1990). Thus, there is a role both in diagnosis and staging for bone scans.…”

Until the 1980s no serious attempts were made to develop paediatric nuclear medicine, as for various reasons many centres were reluctant to perform radionuclide examinations on children. Then two books were published on paediatric nuclear medicine in 1984 and 1985, respectively. In 1987, a group of physicians formed an informal club of paediatricians and nuclear medicine specialists in an effort to improve the relationship and cooperation between these specialties. Carrying out nuclear medicine examinations on children requires a completely different approach than on adults. Suggestions are made and tips given, and the specific problems involved are discussed in detail.

Skeletal scintigraphy is the most frequently utilized nuclear medicine imaging procedure in traumatology. Concerning any skeletal abnormality associated with changes in local perfusion, exudation and metabolism, it is a sensitive functional imaging procedure to detect bony disease. However, because of the varying causes of bony disease, it is characterized by a low specificity. Further, specificity may be enhanced, when patient history, clinical and lab results as well as results obtained from other diagnostic imaging procedures are combined with the result of skeletal scintigraphy. On the other hand, it is known that metabolic abnormalities of the skeleton depicted by radionuclide imaging occur much earlier than structural changes visible on X-ray imaging. Beside skeletal scintigraphy, antigranulocyte antibody or labelled leucocyte imaging may greatly assist in the detection of inflammation or infection following joint replacement surgery, respectively. Ultimatively, a combination of clinical, lab and imaging results including radionuclide imaging may represent the best approach to answer some questions asked by surgical traumatologists.
