Serial bone-scan changes in recurrent bone infarction.
Recurrent bone infarcts in a black man produced a changing pattern of bone-scan abnormalities. Areas initially cold at the infarction site returned to normal over a period of months. Hyperconcentration was frequently noted during the healing phase. In the acute phase scanning was specific and more sensitive than radiography.
