Hepatic Uptake of Tc-99m DPD on Bone Scintigraphy: The Influence of the Interval With Gadolinium-Containing Contrast of MRI

Spleen Uptake in Sickle Cell Anemia on Bone Scan

A patient who had sickle cell disease and had spleen uptake on bone scans is described, and additional causes for that finding are discussed.

Rare Case of Diffuse Splenic Uptake on Methylene Diphosphonate Bone Scan in a Patient with Sickle Cell Disease

Extraskeletal tracer uptake in methylene diphosphonate (MDP) bone scan is not a common finding. There have been several case reports in the literature showing diffuse splenic uptake in MDP bone scan. We present a case of sickle cell disease, which showed diffuse splenic uptake on MDP whole-body bone scan.

Spleen Uptake on a Bone Scan

We present a patient with spleen uptake on bone scanning that was due to sickle cell disease. We also discuss other etiologies for this finding.
