Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) is a syndrome affecting the bones, soft tissue, and joints, often occurring in association with chronic pulmonary disorders. Radiography has traditionally been the imaging modality employed to confirm this diagnosis. However, radionuclide bone imaging provides a sensitive method for the detection of HOA and correlates well with the clinical manifestations. The authors's describe the case of a child with HOA in association with follicular bronchiolitis, a rare chronic pulmonary disorder, whose HOA was diagnosed by radionuclide imaging.
肥大性骨关节病（HOA）是一种影响骨骼、软组织和关节的综合征，常与慢性肺部疾病相关。传统上，X线摄影是用于确诊该疾病的成像方式。然而，放射性核素骨显像为HOA的检测提供了一种敏感的方法，且与临床表现密切相关。作者描述了一例患有HOA并伴有滤泡性细支气管炎（一种罕见的慢性肺部疾病）的儿童病例，其HOA通过放射性核素显像得以诊断。
