A whole-body scan with 99mTc-pyrophosphate and 85Sr-nitrate demonstrates extension of calcinosis in one case of dermatomyositis with cutaneous, subcutaneous, and muscular calcinosis. The authors suggest the potential use of 99mTc-phosphate compounds as an auxiliary instrument in the evaluation of dermatomyositis-polymyositis syndrome.
