title: Visualization of soft tissue by technetium-99m MDP in polymyositis. Case reports.
abstract: Two patients with polymyositis showed abnormal muscular uptake of Tc-99m-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) during routine bone imaging. Imaging with Tc-99m MDP is a useful tool in monitoring the activity of the diseased muscle.
