The use of scintigraphy in the diagnosis and management of traumatic foot lesions in ballet dancers.
In this paper we report the use of the technetium-99m diphosphonate bone scan in the diagnosis and management of traumatic bone lesions in the ballet dancer's foot. Nine illustrative case histories are given. We conclude that this is a useful technique particularly in the recognition of stress lesions not identified by conventional radiography.
