An audit of paediatric technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate bone scans.
Eighty-nine Technetium-99m-MDP scans performed between January 1987 and June 1990 at the Leicester Royal Infirmary were reviewed with regard to the indication, patient outcome and value of the scans in the patients' management. The significant finding was the value of a normal scan in the management of children with chronic pain.
