title: Sulfur colloid distribution in normal hips.
abstract: The normal distribution of Tc-99m sulfur colloid is described in 100 patients with no clinical or radiographic evidence of hip disorders. Two-thirds of the patients had uptake in the femoral neck and some uptake in the femoral head. In the other one-third, no uptake was detected in either femoral head. A high degree of symmetry was noted. Judging both the symmetry and pattern of uptake in both hips is important in evaluating femoral head vasculature after a fracture.
