title: Planar and SPECT imaging with technetium-99m labeled antigranulocyte antibodies in bone and soft tissue infection.
abstract: Scintigraphy with technetium-99m labeled antigranulocyte antibodies including planar and SPECT imaging demonstrated areas of inflammation in bone and soft tissue of the thigh of a 38-year-old man who had a fracture of the femur 20 years earlier. The clinical potential of this imaging modality in the diagnostic assessment of inflammatory diseases is discussed.
