Abstract:
This case report demonstrates that the bone uptake of technetium-99m-methylene diphosphonate can play an important role in the diagnosis and follow-up of bone lesions in sickle-cell anemia. In this case, the whole-body scan revealed remarkably increased activity in the spleen region, in the right ulna and in the left femoral head, consistent with bone infarcts. Bone scanning is a reliable imaging method for early detection and diagnosis of osseous and extraosseous crises in sickle-cell anemia.
