Indium-111-labeled leukocyte scintigraphy: diagnosis of subperiosteal abscesses complicating osteomyelitis in a child.
Preoperative 111In-labeled leukocyte scintigraphy demonstrated extensive subperiosteal abscesses complicating acute bilateral tibial osteomyelitis in a child. Plain radiographs showed only marked soft-tissue swelling; three-phase bone scintigraphy depicted both "hot" and "cold" areas consistent with acute osteomyelitis.
