Is (99m)Tc-MDP whole body bone scintigraphy adjuvant to (18)F-FDG-PET for the detection of skeletal metastases?
PURPOSE Due to the fact that fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-FDG-PET/CT) and technetium-99m-methylenediphosphonate ((99m)Tc-MDP) whole body scans identify bone metastases by different mechanisms, i.e. by using glucose metabolism and osteoblastic response in the bone, respectively, it can be expected that there may be some differences betwee...
متن کاملThe Role of Whole-Body FDG PET/CT, Tc 99m MDP Bone Scintigraphy, and Serum Alkaline Phosphatase in Detecting Bone Metastasis in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Lung Cancer
Bone scan (BS) and serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) concentration are used to detect bone metastasis in malignancy, although whole-body fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) is being used increasingly. But BS is still used for the detection of metastatic bone lesion. So we compared the usefulness of PET/CT, BS, and serum ALP in detecting bone metastases ...
متن کاملTc-MDP whole-body bone scanning for imaging osteolytic bone metastases
Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic value of F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) and Tc-methylenediphosphonate (MDP) whole-body bone scanning (BS) for the detection of osteolytic bone metastases. Methods: Thirty-four patients with pathologically confirmed malignancies and suspected osteolytic bon...
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 ...
متن کاملThe 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 ...
