Bone scintigraphy of facial skeleton with 99Tcm-diphosphonate.
Bone scintigraphy of the facial skeleton with 99Tcm-diphosphonate using gamma-camera was performed in 10 cases without, and in 4 cases with pathologic processes. A. p. and lateral projections were used and a converging collimator. The normal distribution of the isotope in the bones of the face seemed to be uniform with minor variations. Increased uptake varying in intensity was evident in the region of the lesion.
