title: Computed tomography and bone scintigraphy is polyostotic fibrous dysplasia. Report of a case.
abstract: A case of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia is presented in which the extent of bony lesions was defined on the results of the CT scan and bone scan with 99m Tc polyphosphate in addition to conventional radiography. These diagnostic procedures appear to be of considerable value in defining the extent of a variety of oral-maxillofacial bony lesions. This report describes the comparative findings from 99m Tc polyphosphate bone imaging and computed tomography (CT) in one patient with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia.
