Abstract

A positive 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate bone scan was obtained in a case of pelvic osteomyelitis in a 15-year-old girl. An 111In-labelled leucocyte scan confirmed the presence of pus, gave a more accurate anatomical location than was obtained by the bone scan, and enabled the most suitable surgical route to be selected.
