Incidental thyroid uptake during 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate bone scintigraphy in oncologic patients
Introduction: Extraosseous accumulation of 99mTc – methylene diphosphonate (MDP) may be due to neoplastic, dystrophic, hormonal, inflammatory, ischemic, traumatic or excretory disorders. 99mTc-MDP incidental thyroid uptake is not frequent and is possibly caused by the presence of dystrophic or metastatic calcification, biopsy procedure and presence of beni...
متن کاملSPECT-CT for characterization of extraosseous uptake of 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate on bone scintigraphy.
Bone scintigraphy is a sensitive and popular method for imaging a wide array of benign or malignant skeletal abnormalities. However, the uptake of tracers used for bone scintigraphy may be observed in various extraosseous sites, thereby limiting its specificity. It is difficult to correctly localize such sites of uptake on planar bone scintigraphy alone. The addition of hybrid single-photon emi...
متن کاملQuantitative measurements of bone remodeling using 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate bone scans and blood sampling.
UNLABELLED Quantitative studies of bone using (99m)Tc-methylene diphosphonate ((99m)Tc-MDP) have a potentially valuable role in investigating the treatment of patients with metabolic bone disease. In this study we compared 3 different methods of measuring whole-skeleton (99m)Tc-MDP plasma clearance (K(bone)) in 12 osteoporotic postmenopausal women (mean age, 67.3 y) before participation in a cl...
متن کاملBone turnover markers are correlated with total skeletal uptake of 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP)
BACKGROUND Skeletal uptake of 99mTc labelled methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) is used for producing images of pathological bone uptake due to its incorporation to the sites of active bone turnover. This study was done to validate bone turnover markers using total skeletal uptake (TSU) of 99mTc-MDP. METHODS 22 postmenopausal women (52-80 years) volunteered to participate. Scintigraphy was p...
متن کاملIs 99m Tc-methylene diphosphonate bone scintigraphy a sensitive method for detecting bone lesions in multiple myeloma?
Background: Bone lesion in multiple myeloma (MM) is most commonly presented as a lytic lesion in this disease. Determination of extent of bone lesions in MM is necessary to follow-up the patients. Whole body bone scan with 99m, Tc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) has a lower sensitivity than other modalities. Methods: From the patients with MM admitted to Ayatollah Rouhani Hospital of Babol-Iran ...
