Electrophoretic analysis of different technetium-99m (SnCl2) methylene diphosphonate complexes.
Technetium-99m MDP was prepared from MDP kits from several different sources. The resulting [99mTc]MDP preparations were analyzed by electrophoresis. The results demonstrated the presence of at least four different 99mTc complexes in these preparations. Modified kit preparations were analyzed to show the effects of concentration and pH on formation of the impurities. The electrophoresis results...
متن کاملMyocardial infarct imaging using 99m technetium pyrophosphate and 99mtechnetium methylene diphosphonate: a clinical evaluation.
THE use of radionuclides in elucidating ischaemic heart disease is a recent development. Since Bonte et al. (1974) first described the concentration of 99mTechnetium labelled phosphates in acutely damaged myocardium numerous radiopharmaceuticals, techniques, experience and data have accumulated in the non-invasive imaging methods for the direct visualisation of acute myocardial infarction. The ...
متن کاملMultiple metastases of soft tissue visualized by technetium-99m-methylene diphosphonate scintigraphy: a case report
INTRODUCTION Lungs and liver are the most common sites of colorectal cancer metastases after regional lymph nodes, but metastases to unusual sites are reported. Heterotopic bone formation in soft tissues from colorectal cancer is a rare metastatic occurrence. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 29-year-old Caucasian man affected by colon adenocarcinoma with multiple soft tissue metasta...
متن کاملIncreased uptake of technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate in muscles in the course of polymyositis.
A case of a woman aged 46 years with signs of rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure is presented. Coxsackie serum test was positive. Increased uptake of Technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) by muscles of thighs and calves was observed. After 1 year no increased accumulation of radiotracer in the muscles was found.
متن کاملTechnetium-99m Methylene Diphosphonate Single-photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography of the Foot and Ankle
The complex anatomy and function of the foot and ankle can make it difficult to determine the cause of symptoms in patients with foot and ankle pathology. Following initial clinical and radiographic assessment, additional imaging with magnetic resonance imaging may be required, which is often seen as the modality of choice. Although sensitive to pathological changes in bone metabolism and vascu...
