Description

The paper reports on the results of dynamic scintigraphy with 99mTc-pertechnetate, contact plate liquid crystal thermography and sonography in patients with inflammatory disease of the knee joint. Dynamic scintigraphy and thermography showed the same findings in 89% of the patients in detecting inflammatory hyperaemia. Ultrasound is necessary for detection of 'liquid cavities', such as Baker cysts and arthroceles. (author)
