title: [Technetium scintigraphy in experimental hyperergic arthritis and by rheumatoid arthritis].
abstract: Guniea pigs showed an increased uptake of 99m-Tc-04 in the inflamed joints during the first days of experimental arthritis. Tc-04 was found in the joint fluid and inflamed synovia. The uptake of Tc-04 and Tc-MDP was reduced by therapy in 13 patients with RA. Classical RA showed an increased uptake of Tc-MDP compared with probable RA. Scintigraphy offers the possibility of early diagnosis and study of progression.
