[Acute osteomyelitis in children--modification of scintigraphic examination of the skeleton].
The authors review diagnostic possibilities of acute osteomyelitis in children. They emphasize above all isotope examinations as the method of choice. In the subsequent part they focus attention on possible differentiation of acute osteomyelitis from inflammations of soft tissues-phlegmons. To this end they used a modified method of Israel published in 1987, based on a chronologically different uptake of 99mTc-MDP in normal bone and bone affected with osteomyelitis. According to this method it is possible to differentiate with a 90% accuracy acute osteomyelitis from phlegmons.
