title: Intense muscle uptake of Ga-67 citrate and Tc-99m MDP in a patient with aplastic anemia.
abstract: An unusual distribution of Tc-99m MDP and Ga-67 citrate in several muscle groups is described in a 14-year-old boy with aplastic anemia and normal renal function at the time of imaging. Although the patient did not develop musculo-skeletal signs or symptoms, a subsequent autopsy revealed widespread muscle calcification.
