99mTc-MDP whole body bone scan in a case of acute disseminated melioidosis
Melioidosis is a potentially fatal infectious disease occurring predominantly in the tropics, caused by a Gram-negative, motile, rod shaped obligatory aerobic non-spore forming bacillus, Burkholderia pseudomallei. It can produce localised or disseminated disease largely affecting immunocompromised patients. It is a challenge to identify melioidosis early as this disease can manipulate host’s ce...
متن کاملCuboid fracture in a toddler discovered on the whole body bone scan: A case report
This report presents a 3.5-year-old boy who was hospitalized for limping. Medical history and physical exams were not suggestive for any definitive diagnosis. Laboratory and radiographic exams did not support any specific diagnosis either. Subsequently bone scan was performed and increased activity in the ankle due to cuboid fracture was incidentally observed.
متن کاملAutomatic Vertebral Column Extraction by Whole-Body Bone SPECT Scan
Bone extraction and division can enhance the accuracy of diagnoses based on whole-body bone SPECT data. This study developed a method for using conventional SPECT for automatic recognition of the vertebral column. A novel feature of the proposed approach is a novel "bone graph" image description method that represents the connectivity between these image regions to facilitate manipulation of mo...
متن کاملWhole body bone scintigram and stage classification of the patients with adenocarcinoma of lung.
One hundred and six patients having adenocarcinoma of the lung were studied by whole body bone scanning with 99mTc-phosphates in connection with their clinical stages. Abnormal accumulation was found in 64 patients (60%). There were 64 patients who received surgical treatment. Among these 64 patients, 38 underwent bone scanning within 3 months after the establishment of their clinical stages. T...
متن کاملAutomatic Cobb Angle Measurement System by Using Nuclear Medicine Whole Body Bone Scan
Evaluation of scoliosis is performed traditionally by means of standing posterior-anterior radiographs of the full spine to assess lateral curvature with the Cobb method. In this paper, we present a new automatic algorithm to measure Cobb angle by using nuclear medicine whole body bone scan images. Our algorithm design is based on the fuzzy sets histogram thresholding, anatomical knowledge-base...
