As was remarked in the first preface the primary purpose of this humble book is aimed at introducing and establishing a more accurate, objective means of scintigraphic diagnosis of bone and joint diseases through a piecemeal analysis of scan findings: Th e tool is pinhole magnification (Fig. 1). Th us, endeavors have actually been made at further refining and enhancing the diagnostic yield of 99m Tc-MDP pinhole bone scan using the anatomic and metabolic data thereof obtained along with that of collaterally performed radiography, ultrasonography, MRI or CT (Fig. 2).
