Clinical significance of additional lateral imaging in diagnosis of prosthesis infection by combined Tc-99m labeled leukocyte/bone marrow scintigraphy
Introduction: Recently the most accurate diagnostic method in the diagnosis of prosthesis infection is the combination of Tc-99m labeled leukocyte/bone marrow imaging. However the diagnostic efficiency of the test is influenced because of its low spatial resolution. Recently SPECT/CT imaging is implicated in this test with efficient additional diagnostic improvement. In the dep...
متن کامل(18)F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography and (99m)Tc-MDP skeletal scintigraphy in a case of Erdheim-Chester disease.
Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD), first described by Jakob Erdheim and William Chester in 1930, is a rare form of non-Langerhan's cell histiocytosis with unknown aetiology, is charaterized by systemic xanthogranulomatous infiltrative disease. To date, about 350 cases of ECD have been described in the medical literature. The typical ECD diagnostic triad is bone pain, diabetes insipidus and bilater...
متن کاملDiagnosis of prostatitis by 18-F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography
A 74-year-old man, who underwent renal transplantation in April 2007 for end-stage renal failure caused by chronic glomerulonephritis, was admitted in August 2008 for fever (38.5◦C) without orientation symptoms. He had history of essential hypertension, diabetes and ischaemic cardiopathy. The patient had presented two episodes of isolated fever in June 2007, with negative bacteriology, which re...
متن کاملTc-99m Labeled HMPAO white Blood Cell Scintigraphy in a patient with Hip Prosthesis
Background The ability to follow the distribution and migration of biologically active cells in human is essential for the development of cell-based therapies and diagnostics. Nuclear medicine imaging is widely applied in clinic as an attractive technique for in vivo WBC and stem cell tracking. The aim of this study was to evaluate prosthesis infection of a 51 years old man with previous histo...
متن کاملDisseminated thoracoabdominal splenosis mimicking metastatic disease: A case of colorectal cancer
Here, we describe a patient with a history of colorectal cancer in whom 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([18F]FDG PET/CT) was performed for the evaluation of response to therapy. [18F]FDG PET/CT showed a small residual disease in the rectum. In addition, multiple metabolically inactive soft tissue densities were d...
