Planar skeletal scintigraphy of an FBSS patient using technetium-99m hydroxydiphosphonate (Tc-99m HDP) to investigate rheumatological disease in the tarsal and metatarsal joints. A Posterior full-body planar image; B anterior full-body planar image; C Lateral skull planar image. Although Tc-99m HDP skeletal scintigraphy was carried out to assess the tarsal and metatarsal joints, full-body planar images were also acquired. In corroboration with the findings of Huang et al. [29], planar images show no specific features of FBSS. Findings were consistent with (nonspecific) degenerative changes in the spinal column and the bilateral tarsometatarsal joints. Focal round accumulation of tracer was observed in near the left parietal bone. This incidental finding was consistent with left parietal meningioma
