Abstract
A patient suffering from malignant external otitis (MEO) underwent early blood pool scanning followed after 2 hours by 99m To MDP bone scanning, and serial Ga-67 citrate scintigraphies of the skull. The former two procedures served as a diagnostic tool to MEO. The latter was used for estimating the extent of the infective process, and for following-up the efficacy of treatment.The complementary role of these three procedures in the diagnosis, and follow-up of MEO, with special emphasis on immediate blood pool scanning as part of the diagnostic procedure, is illustrated.
