Abstract
The diagnosis of acute osteomyelitis is often very difficult during the first 24 to 48 hours. Bone scanning has been a useful adjunct in this diagnosis by demonstrating increased uptake in the area or areas of involvement. Occasionally the pathological area is "cold" on scanning, which may lead to a misdiagnosis. This paper presents three cases demonstrating this unusual finding.
