RSD...: Rsd = reflex sympathetic dystophy. Other names for the same condition include sudeck's atrophy or complex regional pain syndrome (crps). The condition often occurs after an injury. Three phase bone scan is used to aid in diagnosis. Classic finding on three phase bone scan is increased peri-articular uptake. Children may show atypical presentation on three phase bone scan.
