pubmed:abstractText |
The preliminary results obtained in a study of the use of scintigraphy with Tc 99 PYP for the evaluation of meniscal lesions of the knee are presented. Three different captation curves are described. Those with an elevated peak and a restricted base are characteristic of meniscal lesions. The use of this method in a series of 50 patients in whom meniscal lesions were suspected demonstrated a high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity with regard to the presence of the lesion, but not to its type.
