"The bony skeleton has high affinity towards 99mTc- diphosphonate especially in the calvaria, and mandible. Beading of the costochondral junction (also known as "tie sternum") is also seen. The bone findings are usually due to secondary hyperparathyroidism but an osteomalacia component may contribute to some of its scintigraphy features. Meanwhile, kidneys and urinary bladder appear faint or not visualised 6."
