The diagnostic value of (99m)Tc-IgG scintigraphy in the diabetic foot and comparison with (99m)Tc-MDP scintigraphy.
UNLABELLED Diabetic foot infection is the most common etiology of nontraumatic amputation of the lower extremities, and early diagnosis is of great importance in its management. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the strength of (99m)Tc-IgG scintigraphy in diagnosis of osteomyelitis of the diabetic foot and to compare (99m)Tc-IgG scintigraphy with (99m)Tc-methylene diphosphonate ...
