Though generally nonspecific, the patterns of diaphyseal uptake of bone seeking radionuclides, when correlated with the radiographic findings and clinical histories, often suggest specific diagnoses and may obviate the need for further imaging. Diaphyseal uptake is considered in terms of "hot spots," unilateral long segment lesions and bilateral processes that may be symmetric or asymmetric in distribution. Scintigrams and corresponding radiographs of 18 different lesions are illustrated.
