Effect of Water Loading on Bone Scintigraphy with Tc-99m HMDP

Noninvasive evaluation of bone-forming activity within the calcified atherosclerotic lesions by Tc 99m HMDP scintigraphy.

Megaureter visualization on Tc-99m DMSA scintigraphy.

We present a patient with left-sided obstructed megaureter secondary to neuropathic bladder. He was referred for technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid ((99m)Tc-DMSA) renal cortical scintigraphy to evaluate renal cortical function. Images obtained 4 hr after injection showed significant activity in the dilated left ureter. When the ureter is visualized on DMSA scan, obstructive megaureter shoul...

Radioimmune Imaging of Diabetic Foot Infection - Tc-99m-Labelled Antigranulocyte Antibody in Combination with Tc-99m-Methylene Diphosphonate Bone Scintigraphy

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of immunoscintigraphy with Tc-99m-labelled antigranulocyte antibody in combination with Tc-99m-methylene-diphosphonate (MDP) bone scanning in diabetic foot infection. The study group comprised 42 Type 2 diabetics with foot infection. Preand postprandial blood glucose level, HbA1c, urinary glucose, microalbuminuria, total cholesterol, L...

The diagnostic value of (99m)Tc-IgG scintigraphy in the diabetic foot and comparison with (99m)Tc-MDP scintigraphy.

UNLABELLED Diabetic foot infection is the most common etiology of nontraumatic amputation of the lower extremities, and early diagnosis is of great importance in its management. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the strength of (99m)Tc-IgG scintigraphy in diagnosis of osteomyelitis of the diabetic foot and to compare (99m)Tc-IgG scintigraphy with (99m)Tc-methylene diphosphonate ...

Evaluation of vascularized graft reconstruction of the mandible with Tc-99m MDP bone scintigraphy.

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of bone scintigraphy for the assessment of graft viability following vascularized bone grafts in patients with mandibular reconstruction. METHODS We investigated 16 patients with vascularized grafts from the fibula (13 patients) and iliac crest (3 patients) in the last 8 years. For the follow up of all these patients, Tc-99m MDP bone scintig...
