Scintigraphy with Tc99m-MDP in the diagnosis of stress lesions in bone.
Scintigraphy with Technetium methylene diphosphate gives a positive result in bone tissue in a state of raised metabolic activity. This can be used in the diagnosis of mechanical stress lesions in bone. The authors present several clinical examples confirming the usefulness of this method.
