The role of whole-body bone scintigraphy in a case of osteopetrosis
The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2014 Male patient, 35 years old, with occasional mild intensity back pain. Lumbosacral spine radiography showed bone structure with increased density, diffusely and symmetrically, conferring to the vertebral bodies “bone-within-bone” aspect, suggesting ...
