UNKNOWN AND ABNORMAL ACCUMULATION IN THE CHEST IN BONE SCINTIGRAPHY

Abstract

In scintigraphies of forty patients with hemiplegia following appoplexia, focal abnormal accumulations in the chest region were seen in bone scintigraphies of four patients.
These hot accumulations could be neither rib fracture, rib metastases, nor abnormal calcium accumulation.
A mechanism of these accumulation remains to undicided. We believe that this phenomena is related to abnormal bone metabolism in hemiplegial condition.
