AIM: For evaluation of the effect of radiosynoviorthesis (RSO) on the early and delayed uptake of 99mTc-biphosphonates and its relation to clinical outcome we studied these variables before and after radiosynoviorthesis performed on 41 knees affected by rheumatoid arthritis. METHOD: Thirty-seven patients with rheumatoid gonarthritis were treated by intraarticular injection with 185 MBq yttrium-90 citrate...
