Accumulation of 99mTc-diphosphonate in malignant pleural effusions: detection and verification.
Increased accumulation of radioactivity was observed in two cases of malignant pleural effusions during the performance of routine bone scans with 99mTc-diphosphonate. This previously unreported finding was verified both qualitatively and quantitatively by appropriate scanning and laboratory techniques.
