Employing the Siemens Scintimat II, a skeletal scintigraphy was successfully appled in the early detection, localisation and delineation of bone metastases to the knee from rhabdomyosarcoma of the right pectoral region. However repeated radiographs of the knee continued to be negative. As all other treatment approach of the painful knee: physiotherapy (short wave diathermy) had failed to produce relief, radiotherapy was applied as a last resort; the swelling regressed and the pain disappeared. This was indicative of the positive detection of early rhabdomyosarcoma metastases to be bones as a positive scan is seen in all areas of bone accretion whether malignancy is present or not.
使用西门子Scintimat II，成功地对一名右胸区域横纹肌肉瘤膝关节骨转移进行了早期检测、定位和描绘。然而，膝关节的多次X线片检查结果仍为阴性。由于针对疼痛膝关节的所有其他治疗方法（物理治疗，短波透热疗法）均未能缓解疼痛，因此作为最后手段采用了放射治疗；肿胀消退，疼痛消失。这表明早期横纹肌肉瘤骨转移检测呈阳性，因为在所有骨质增生区域都可见阳性扫描，无论是否存在恶性肿瘤。
