Overview
Radionuclide bone scanning may be done, but findings are not specific for Pott's disease.[1]
Other Imaging Tests
Radionucleotide bone scan can be performed in patients with chronic back pain to differentiate from metastasis. Bone scan in spinal tuberculosis shows areas of low uptake due to the fragmentation of the bone elements and avascularity of the bone fragments.[2]
