Co-existent Paget’s Disease of the Bone, Prostate Carcinoma Skeletal Metastases and Fracture on Skeletal Scintigraphy-Lessons to be Learned
UNLABELLED Bone scintigraphy, despite being non-specific, is a very sensitive and simple investigation for patients with active Paget's disease of the bone. Skeletal metastases and Paget's disease may co-exist in the elderly patients as both conditions are commonly seen in this age group. Clinical and radiological correlation may help to improve the diagnostic specificity of a bone scintigram. ...
متن کاملSkeletal Scintigraphy.
BACKGROUND Skeletal scintigraphy remains a valuable tool in the initial and subsequent evaluation of the skeletal system in patients with a diagnosis of primary or metastatic neoplasms. METHODS We discuss radiopharmaceuticals, nuclear medicine imaging techniques, and current as well as future oncological applications in the adult population. Pertinent literature was reviewed to describe the a...
متن کاملDiagnostic role of whole body bone scintigraphy in atypical skeletal tuberculosis resembling multiple metastases: a case report
INTRODUCTION Osseous tuberculosis can be present with unifocal or multifocal bony involvement. Although multifocal involvement of the skeletal system in areas where tuberculosis is endemic is not a rare presentation, its exact prevalence is not well known. A case of atypical skeletal tuberculosis mimicking multiple secondary metastases on radiologic and scintigraphic imaging is presented to emp...
متن کامل[Incidence and imaging characteristics of skeletal metastases detected by bone scintigraphy in lung cancer patients].
BACKGROUND/AIM Detection of metastatic bone disease by skeletal scintigraphy is a classical application of nuclear medicine in cancer patients. Detection of bone metastases in patients with lung cancer is necessary for an appropriate treatment modality. The aim of this study was to report the frequency and imaging characteristics of bone metastases detected by bone scintigraphy (BS) using techn...
متن کاملDoes fluid restriction affect the image quality of skeletal scintigraphy?
Introduction: In Islamic countries in the month of Holy Ramadan many Muslims based on their religious Legislation refuse fluid intake during the fasting time though instructed to drink after injection of Tc-99m Methylene-diphosphonates [Tc-99m MDP] used for skeletal scintigraphy. We aimed to establish whether fluid restriction in Tc-99m MDP skeletal scintigraphy has an impact on its quality. M...
