[The scintigraphic diagnosis and follow-up of injuries to the epiphyseal plates (author's transl)]. 1980

E Walter, and U Feine, and K Anger, and P Schweizer, and W Neugebauer

Injuries to the epiphysel plates without involvement of the epiphyses or metaphyses, such as crush fractures or pure epiphysiolysis may be difficult to diagnose radiologically. Thirteen bone scans after damage to the growth plate have been performed on eight children. These indicate that these scans are able to diagnose lesions of the epiphyseal plates at an early stage and with certainty. The scintigrams also provide information concerning the healing process of the plate; they indicate when healing has been completed and when the extremity can be used for weight-bearing again. Radiation exposure of the children during scintigraphy with 99mTc-polyphosphate is within acceptable limits.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
