American Journal of Roentgenology, 1973•Am Roentgen Ray SocThe course of ectopic bone formation in paraplegic patients was investigated by serial Sr85
or Sr87m scintigrams. Differences in uptake on consecutive scintigrams in the same patient
were expressed by means of an uptake ratio between ectopic and normal bone. In most
cases the uptake ratios tended to decrease with time. Surgical removal of ectopic bone,
when indicated, was not followed by recurrence. In some rare cases, however, strontium
uptake remained high over several years and the uptake ratios increased. In these cases …
