The goal of this teaching case study is to demonstrate the novel use of 99mTc-HMPAO-labeled white blood cells (WBCs) in diagnosing chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO). 99mTc-HMPAO-labeled white blood cells were utilized to diagnose CRMO. Classically, CRMO is evaluated scintigraphically using 99mTc-rnethylene diphosphonate/hydroxymethylene diphosphonate. 99mTc-HMPAO-labeled WBCs were chosen over 111 In-labeled WBCs because of the former's improved imaging characteristics and decreased radiation dose. 99mTc- HMPAO-labeled WBCs were successful in diagnosing CRMO. 99mTc-HMPAO-labeled WBC scanning is specific for the diagnosis of CRMO.
