title: Application of scintigraphy MDP 99 mTc in the diagnosis of osteoarticular pains of obscure etiology.
abstract: The three-phase scintigraphy of bones is useful in detecting disorders of bone tissue perfusion metabolism in patients with the occult etiology of joint pains. The bone scintigraphy with application of MDP plays the main role in the orthopaedic diagnosis. It is of the greatest importance when radiograms are not normal. In spite of application of the other modern methods it is the technique of choice in the early diagnosis.
