Clinical experience with 99mTc-polyphosphate scintigraphy in more than 200 patients with suspected stress fractures is presented. Stress fractures occur in bone which has been weakened as a result of accelerated physiological change induced by excessive muscular and mechanical activity. Unlike traumatic fractures, they are not accompanied by radiographic abnormality early in their course. Bone scintigraphy is sensitive enough to detect the physiological alterations found in stress fractures and was responsible for decreased morbidity in this series of patients due to early diagnosis.
本文介绍了对200多名疑似应力性骨折患者进行99mTc-多聚磷酸盐闪烁扫描的临床经验。应力性骨折发生在因过度肌肉和机械活动引起的生理变化加速而导致骨质变弱的骨骼中。与创伤性骨折不同，在病程早期它们不伴有影像学异常。骨闪烁扫描足够灵敏，能够检测到应力性骨折中发现的生理改变，并且由于早期诊断，在这组患者中降低了发病率。
