[Uptake of 99mTc-diphosphonates due to brain infarction].
The case of a patient who came to the Nuclear Medicine Department for a bone scintigraphy to rule out bone metastasis because of a lung neoplasm is presented. Some days before, the patient had suffered a right brain infarction. 99mTc-MDP uptake could be seen in the infarction area. Different mechanisms of 99mTc phosphates deposition in tissues other than bones are reviewed in this article.
