title: [Recurrent multifocal chronic osteomyelitis: scintigraphy or MRI. Apropos of 2 cases].
abstract: We report two cases of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis. In both cases, MRI demonstrated the presence of asymptomatic lesions that the technetium bone scan failed to show. The asymptomatic lesions were located in the acetabelum and the distal femur. Despite the actual literature, MRI was more specific than bone scan in these two cases.
