title: [Value and limitations of scintigraphy in hematology].
abstract: The most important methods for carrying out scintigraphic investigation of the lympho-haemo-poietic system are described and their advantages and limitations reviewed with respect to pure methodology and to that of results interpretation. This field of radioisotopic symptomatology can still be considered a developing one; the techniques described have an indisputable diagnostic value, in spite of the advent of more sophisticated radiological techniques such as echography and computerized axial tomography.
