Back Pain in Children and Diagnostic Value of 99mTc MDP Bone Scintigraphy
AIM The aim of our study is to assess the diagnostic value of Technituim-(99m)-Methyle diphosphonate ((99m)Tc-MDP) Bone scintigraphy in the assessment of children with back pain. METHODS Included in this retrospective study were 68 child referred to us complaining of back pain (mean age of 13+ 2). There were 45 boys and 23 girls. All children have been investigated with conventional x-ray whi...
متن کاملDiagnostic Role of Combined 99mTc-Hmpao Leucocyte Scintigraphy and 99mTc-MDP Bone Scintigraphy in the Diagnosis of Osteomyelitis in the Diabetic Foot
Background: The aim of this study to assess the role of 99mTc-HMPAO leucocyte scintigraphy combined with 99mTcMDP bone scintigraphy in the diagnosis of the diabetic foot infection. Methods: 50 diabetic patients with suspected osteomyelitis were included. The HMPAO-Leucocytes/MDP scan was considered to be consistent with osteomyelitis when the HMPAOLeucocytes uptake was concordant with MDP bone ...
متن کامل99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy in the diagnosis of stress fracture of the metatarsal bones mimicking oligoarthritis.
BACKGROUND Stress fractures are the injuries of soft tissues and bones caused by intensive and repeated stress on a bone. Repeated submaximal stress disturbs the balance between the processes of bone production and resorption that results in fracture. CASE REPORT We presented a case of a patient with stress fracture of metatarsal bone. The patient was diagnosed and treated as having reactive ...
متن کاملExtra osseous uptake of 99mTc-MDP in psoas muscle on bone scintigraphy: Importance of SPECT/CT imaging
Incidental extra-osseous uptake of 99mTc-MDP on bone scintigraphy has been frequently reported in the literature; however, calcification of the psoas muscle is a rare condition, which has been reported on magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) imagings. Here we report a 67-year-old woman with acute paraplegia and low back pain who was referred for a 99mTc-MDP...
متن کاملUse of SPECT/CT with 99mTc-MDP Bone Scintigraphy to Diagnose Symptomatic Os Acromiale.
Os acromiale is an anatomic variant that in rare cases can cause pain. (99m)Tc-methylene diphosphonate bone scintigraphy with SPECT/CT can play an important role in diagnosing this clinical entity. We present a male football player with shoulder pain secondary to a symptomatic os acromiale, and we demonstrate the findings on bone scanning with limited SPECT/CT that diagnosed this important clin...
