[Results of bone marrow scintigraphy in hematological diseases].
    RoFo : Fortschritte auf dem Gebiete der Rontgenstrahlen und der Nuklearmedizin, 1987, Volume: 146, Issue:3

    Bone marrow scintigraphy was performed in 40 patients with haematological disorders (lymphomas, multiple myeloma, myeloid leukaemia, panmyelopathy and others). Routine skeletal scintigraphy was available for comparison in 18 patients. In agreement with the literature it became evident that marrow scintigraphy can show infiltrations of the bone marrow in haematological disorders earlier than skeletal scintigraphy. Hot lesions were caused by reactive proliferation of the bone marrow such as may occur with acute inflammatory joint diseases, osteomyelitis, fracture healing or other entities. Marrow imaging demonstrated reliably the actual distribution of the functioning bone marrow, a characteristic that is important for diagnosis and staging, especially in myeloproliferative diseases.

Increased skeletal:renal uptake ratio: etiology and characteristics.
    Radiology, 1980, Volume: 136, Issue:2

    Twenty-four patients with increased skeletal:renal uptake ratios of 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate were studied. Increased uptake was central in metastatic prostate carcinoma, peripheral in hematologic disorders, and heterogeneous in Paget disease and fibrous dysplasia. There was no discernible redistribution of skeletal uptake in patients with renal failure. Absence of both renal and bladder activity was not observed in patients with normal renal function. An increased ratio was always abnormal and frequently indicated diffuse bone disease.
