Increased uptake of Tc-99m-methylene diphosphonate in the area of jaw is a common finding on the whole body bone scan. To study its incidence, causes and clinical significance, we performed static anterior and bilateral head views on 52 consecutive patients, followed by a dental examination and a panoramic radiograph. We demonstrated that increased uptake of bone tracer in the area ofjaw was observed at a high incidence, as well as its characteristic distribution. The mainly causes are some common dental diseases. These findings would better guide the diagnosis and treatment for patients. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
