99mTc-HMPAO-labeled WBC scan for the diagnosis of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis.
The goal of this teaching case study is to demonstrate the novel use of (99m)Tc-HMPAO-labeled white blood cells (WBCs) in diagnosing chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO). (99m)Tc-HMPAO-labeled white blood cells were utilized to diagnose CRMO. Classically, CRMO is evaluated scintigraphically using (99m)Tc-methylene diphosphonate/hydroxymethylene diphosphonate. (99m)Tc-HMPAO-labeled ...
متن کاملThree-phase 99mTc-MDP bone scan in a case of pigment villonodular synovitis
Pigment villondular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare synovial condition. The nature of this disorder is usually characterized as benign; however, malignant transformation has also been reported. MRI is the diagnostic modality of choice in evaluating this entity, revealing low T1 and T2 weighted signals and blooming artifact on gradient echo sequences. Three-phase 99mTc-MDP bone scan has b...
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 scan guides in the identification of mesenteric vein thrombosis
A 50-year-old man with postprandial abdominal pain, weight loss, and generalized body ache was referred to Nuclear medicine department for a whole body bone scan to look for any malignancy. Clinical examination did not reveal any specific positive findings. He underwent aTechnetium-99m Methylene Diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) bone scan which showed no obvious bone pathology. But there was...
متن کامل99mTc-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...
