Abstract

Bone scintigraphy is a useful method for evaluating the acute damage of skeletal muscle. The authors describe a patient who sustained a crushing muscle injury by falling down from the second floor of a building while working. Bone scintigraphy with Tc-99m MDP showed intensely increased activity in the lower back and both buttocks and thighs. Interestingly, there was peripheral increased activity with sparing of the central portion in the soft tissue of both thighs.
