title: Intraoperative radioactive localization of osteoid osteomas: four case reports.
abstract: We have excised four osteoid osteomas in four children, aided by intraoperative radioactive localization. Here we report these cases and describe the equipment used. Exact detection and elective excision are the two advantages of this technique.
