- Beschreibungen/Notizen
- Splenic accumulation of [99mTc]methylene diphosphonate is rarely recorded. We report here a patient with sickle cell-thalassemia disease in whom splenic accumulation of this tracer was recorded in the bone scan, while there was no splenic uptake in the conventional liver-spleen scan with [99mTc]sulfur colloid, and no radiological evidence of splenic calcification was present. The possible mechanisms underlying this finding are discussed.
