Acute multifocal osteomyelitis: Tc-99m Methylendiphosphanate, Tc-99m HMPAO leucocytes and Tc-99m (V) dimercaptosuccinic acid imaging

Abstract

A 13 year old male was referred to nuclear medicine department for evaluation of suspected acute multifocal osteomyelitis. Blood culture showed staphylococcal infection. We performed Tc- 99m methylendiphosphanate (MDP) bone scan, Tc-99m HMPAO leukocyte scan and Tc-99m (V) dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy. In this case, we were able to evaluate simultaneously Tc-99m (V) DMSA uptake of the bone and soft tissue infection as comparing with Tc-99m MDP and Tc-99m HMPAO leucocytes. Tc-99m (V) DMSA uptake was similar to Tc-99m MDP and Tc-99m HMPAO leucocytes
