Whole-body images revealed an increased tracer activity in all of the clinically actively involved joints (wrist, finger, knee and ankle joints), and an extra-skeletal uptake of 99mTc MDP in the periarticular soft tissue of both knees (more on right one) extended almost up to the proximal extremity of the right leg (Figure 1).
Coronal T2*-weighted gradient-echo image (left) and planar 99mTc MDP (right). In the center, for visualization purposes, the MR image is represented in inverted color scale, with the red channel of the RBG image substituted by the MDP image.
