متن کاملMultifocal Bone and Visceral Melioidosis in a Cirrhotic Patient Identified by 99mTc MDP Bone Scan
A 58-year-old diabetic male with hepatic cirrhosis presented with fever and vague bone pains. Technetium methylene diphosphonate (Tc MDP) three phase bone scan (Figures 1 and 2) identified not only multiple sites of bone involvement but also extraskeletal renal involvement that was later proven by culture.

متن کاملInguinoscrotal Herniation of a Bladder Diverticulum on [Tc99m]-Methylene-Diphosponate (MDP) Bone Scan Diagnosed with SPECT/CT
Inguinoscrotal hernias that contain bladder diverticulae are a rare occurrence. We report the case of a 85 yearold man with intense radioactivity overlying the left pubic tubercle on [Tc99m]-methylene-diphosponate (MDP) bone scan. SPECT/CT imaging established the diagnosis of excreted urinary radioactivity within a large herniated bladder diverticulum. SPECT/CT is a useful technique for evaluat...
