title: Disassociation of splenic accumulation of Tc-99m MDP and radiocolloid.
abstract: Two cases of splenic uptake of Tc-99m MDP are presented, in which there was preserved reticuloendothelial activity (Tc-99m sulfur colloid accumulation). In addition to the literature data, data from these cases were used to show the disassociation of uptake of bone agents and radiocolloid in the spleen. Prior reports, in which both agents concentrated in the spleen, were tabulated. An updated gamut on splenic accumulation of Tc-99m MDP or analogues was given.
