“…13). 66 Scintigraphy plays a critical role in differentiating this disorder from other causes of the ''irritable hip'' and limp in children. LCPD accounted for 23 to 44% of children presenting with an irritable hip.…”

“…Conventional planar imaging has a reported sensitivity of 98% and a specificity of 95% compared with 97% and 78%, respectively, for radiography, 69 with scintigraphic changes antedating radiological alterations. Danigelis et al 66 suggested that scintigraphy provided evidence of revascularization by identifying a stripe of activity in the most lateral aspect of the femoral capital epiphysis (Fig. 13), increased uptake in the growth plate, and increased activity in the adjacent metaphysis.…”

Bone scintigraphy is ideally suited for the investigation of benign bone disease as it functions at a physiological level. It is freely available and has whole-body capability and high-contrast resolution. When coupled with single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT), it can be utilized to provide precise anatomical localization, attenuation correction, and therefore better lesion localization. A considerable volume of data has accumulated on the role of bone scintigraphy in trauma and its complications, overuse injuries, vascular disease of bone, metabolic bone diseases, and a variety of other disorders. This article is an overview of the established applications and signposts of potential future applications with the increasing prevalence of SPECT/CT devices and technical advances in attenuation correction, collimator modeling, and resolution recovery software.

“…An effusion is commonly detectable with ultrasound. The definitive diagnosis is, however, by scintigraphy, which shows a characteristic photon deficiency of the outer one-to two-thirds of the femoral capital epiphysis (Danigelis 1976). Later, and when there is radiological evidence of sclerosis and deformity of the head, this may be replaced by increased uptake (Morley et al 1978).…”

The role of nuclear medicine in the diagnosis and management of the major arthropathies is critically reviewed, with particular reference to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid and similar forms of arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, non-specific back pain, gout, the neuropathic joint, avascular necrosis, infection and the consequences of prosthetic joint insertion. Attention is drawn both to practical applications and deficiencies in current techniques and knowledge.

“…1989;Feine 1990). Routine three-phase bone scan, including pin-hole images is required (Danigelis 1976). Experience with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggests that this method is superior to scintography; in addition, it avoids radiation exposure.…”

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.
