Scintigraphy

Abstract

Only recently have isotopic investigations been used for algodystrophy. Almost all studies published about isotope investigations in algodystrophy concern the bone. In the chapter on physiopathology we shall see that algodystrophy is in fact a condition resulting from local or locoregional blood circulation disturbances involving the vasomotricity and producing variabl effects on the tissues, ranging from involvement of the teguments to more or less extended osseous involvement. The extent and intensity of the process are also very variable both superficially and in depth
