Uptake of 99mTc bone-scanning agent by lungs with metastatic calcification.
Uptake of 99mTc bone-scanning agent into lungs containing metastatic calcification was demonstrated in a patient with a carcinosarcoma of the bladder. This gives further support to the hypothesis that 99mTc bone agents are associated with hydroxyapatite.
