Failure of technetium bone scanning to detect pseudarthroses in spinal fusion for scoliosis. 1977

K M Hannon, and W J Wetta

A prospective study of 11 patients suggests that present techniques of technetium bone scanning do not assist in recognizing the presence of well-established pseudarthrosis in spinal fusions for scoliosis.
