The aim of this report was to assess the usefulness of bone scanning in the diagnosis and evaluation of the skull base osteomyelitis.
Bone scanning was performed in three male patients with otogenic skull base osteomyelitis, aged 65-84 years utilizing Tc99m-MDP and dual-head gamma camera.
In one case, bone scanning played a crucial role in establishing the diagnosis. In two cases, it provided confirmed MRI results. CT scanning was negative in two cases.
Bone scans may give valuable information for establishing the diagnosis and assessing the severity of this disease, and add complementary physiological information to radiological imaging.
本报告旨在评估骨扫描在颅底骨髓炎诊断和评估中的作用。
对3例年龄在65 - 84岁的耳源性颅底骨髓炎男性患者，使用锝99m - 亚甲基二膦酸盐（Tc99m - MDP）和双头伽马相机进行骨扫描。
在1例病例中，骨扫描在确诊中起关键作用。在2例病例中，它证实了MRI结果。2例病例的CT扫描结果为阴性。
骨扫描可为该病的诊断和严重程度评估提供有价值的信息，并为放射影像学增添补充性的生理信息。
