Abstract
Splenic accumulation of 99mTc-diphosphonate is shown in the bone scan of a patient with sickle cell disease. This uptake is assumed to result from splenic infarction and subsequent calcification. The conventional liver-spleen scan with 99mTc-sulfur colloid shows no splenic activity, and a radiograph shows calcification in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen in the expected anatomic location of the spleen.Entities:
