Abstract
Musculoskeletal scintigraphy has excellent sensitivity for the evaluation of benign disease in children. Using illustrative cases, a spectrum of techniques and applications of nuclear medicine studies for benign bone diseases are presented. An approach to the use and evaluation of bone density evaluation in children also is discussed.
