Catheter related artifacts on bone scans: report of two cases

Bone scanning using the 99mTc-phosphate analogs is an established diagnostic modality and a commonly requested radioisotope examination for a variety of pathologies involving the skeleton, such as osteomyelitis, bony metastases, and occult fractures. The bone scan is one of the most commonly requested procedure in most nuclear medicine department. The images show areas of increased and de...

Reciprocating Bone Saw: Effect of Blade Speed on Cutting Rate

Power reciprocating saws are used in surgical procedures to cut bone. Improved cutting rates are desirable in order to reduce operative time and improve patient outcome. A fixture was developed to test the effect of blade speed on cutting rate of bovine cortical bone. It was hypothesized that the volumetric cutting rate would increase in a linear manner for a fixed stroke length and a constant ...
