Abstract
The technique of scintigraphy of the skeleton and its applicability ar e presented and discussed by case examples of patients with Morbus-Leg g-Calve-Perthes. Technetium-99m was used labeled with the bone marker MDP. Changes in the femoral heads presented as a significantly increas ed uptake of Tc-99m in case of acute processes, which allowed localisa tion of the lameness.
