This book is written with the expectations to reevaluate time honored
99-Tc Three Phase Bone Scan (TPBS) by vascular endothelium function and
popularize for the diagnosis of osteomyelitis and expand the concept to
incorporate 67-Ga TPBS. Emergence of WBC scan and PET scan gradually
replaced conventional TPBS and gallium scan for the diagnosis of
osteomyelitis though WBC scan and PET scans have their own limitations
and are often cost prohibitive. Facilities for WBC scan and PET scan do
not exist everywhere even in the developed world.
