static bone scan was performed in 46 patients for evaluation of ocular hydroxyapatite vascularization. study findings indicated that bone scan, with tc-99m mdp is an appropriate method for evaluation of hydroxyapatite vascularization and for estimating the time for peg insertion into the hydroxyapatite implant. our study showed proper hydroxyapatite vascularization when the ratio of activity in...

OBJECTIVE Na(18)F bone positron emission tomography (bone PET) is a new imaging modality which is useful for the evaluation of bone diseases.
