Diagnostic 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 کاملBack 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 کاملClinical approach to renal study incidental to 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy.
In order to investigate the feasibility of the assessment of renal function with 99mTc-MDP, we compared renographical images, renogram patterns and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) obtained by means of a modified Gates' method and 200 MBq of 99mTc-MDP with those obtained by means of 99mTc-DTPA. Because 19 of 20 patients had malignant tumors in the genitourinary tract, there was no differenc...
متن کاملThe use of 99mTc-recombinant human annexin V imaging for differential diagnosis of aseptic loosening and low-grade infection in hip and knee prostheses.
UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to assess the pattern of annexin V uptake in hip and knee prostheses suspected of being infected. METHODS A total of 7 patients undergoing revision surgery for hip or knee prostheses were studied; 5 patients had total hip replacements, and 2 had total knee replacements. Infection was confirmed by pathology, culture results, laboratory evaluation, and clini...
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...
