Rüther, A. Hotze, F. Möller, A. Bockisch, P. Heitzmann, H. Biersack] Summary: Fifty-five patients with 60 suspected infections of bones or joints were studied with 99mTc-hexamethyl-propyleneaminooxine-(HMPAO-) labelled leucocytes and 99mTc-labelled antigranulocyte antibodies, in part supplemented with 99mTc-labelled nanocolloid. The findings using the different procedures were in good agreement. Apart from in vertebral lesions, a negative scan — even if the radionuclide bone scan is positive — excludes an infection with high probability (sensitivity 94%). The low specifity (57%) is due to positive imaging of various non-infected lesions. Spondylitis usually shows as nonspecific cold lesions. A subtraction technique with computer assisted analysis of HMPAO and nanocolloid scans provides a more precise diagnosis of this condition. Springer-Verlag, 1990 Rüther W.
