Figure 1 Tc-99m bone scan.
A: Diffuse increased uptake in the shaft of bilateral femurs (more severe in the left than on the right) and periarticular bones of bilateral knee joints; B: Blood pool phase (first row) revealing increased uptake in both femur shafts and knees; bone phase (second and third row) illustrates increased uptake in the same bones and joints.
Figure 2 Magnetic resonance imaging.
Diffuse irregular contours from a large intramedullary lesion are observed in both mid- to distal femurs (A), both proximal tibiae (B) and both patellae (C) (arrow head). There are T2 high and T1 low SI multiple fluid collection, from the diaphysis to the epiphysis and along the periosteum (arrow). These findings indicate osteomyelitis.
