Acta Radiol Diagn (Stockh). 1986 Nov-Dec;27(6):719-21. doi: 10.1177/028418518602700618.

Abstract

Bone scintigraphy proved valuable in diagnosing McCune-Albright's syndrome in a 6-year-old girl by detecting multiple, non-symptomatic foci in the skull, axial skeleton and in the extremities. Subsequent roentgen examination showed abnormal bone structure in the affected areas, consistent with fibrous dysplasia.
