Scintigraphic detection of sinusitis.
Radionuclide scintigraphy is useful in the diagnosis of sinusitis. Three cases are described, using different radionuclide agents (99mTc-MDP, 67Ga-citrate and 111In-leukocytes) in which sinusitis was discovered, though clinically unsuspected. The advantages and limitations of these agents are briefly reviewed.
