Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebra Diagnosed on 99mTc-Methylene Diphosphonate SPECT/CT.
Lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV) is a congenital anomaly of the lumbosacral junction. The association between back pain and LSTV is controversial; however, in our patient the symptoms localized to a hemisacralized left transverse process of L5. LSTV should be included in the differential diagnosis in young patients with lower back pain, and scintigraphic imaging should be considered for...
متن کاملBone turnover markers are correlated with total skeletal uptake of 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP)
BACKGROUND Skeletal uptake of 99mTc labelled methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) is used for producing images of pathological bone uptake due to its incorporation to the sites of active bone turnover. This study was done to validate bone turnover markers using total skeletal uptake (TSU) of 99mTc-MDP. METHODS 22 postmenopausal women (52-80 years) volunteered to participate. Scintigraphy was p...
متن کاملAsymmetric Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebra (LTV) Type-3 in a German Shepherd Dog: A Case Report
Case Description- In the present study, a seven-year-old German shepherd female dog was referred to Veterinary Hospital of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, with a two-week history of intermittent lameness and lumbosacral pain. Clinical Findings- On general examination, the vital parameters were within normal limits. A ventrodorsal (VD) radiograph of the pelvis and lumbosacral spine was take...
متن کاملSPECT-CT for characterization of extraosseous uptake of 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate on bone scintigraphy.
Bone scintigraphy is a sensitive and popular method for imaging a wide array of benign or malignant skeletal abnormalities. However, the uptake of tracers used for bone scintigraphy may be observed in various extraosseous sites, thereby limiting its specificity. It is difficult to correctly localize such sites of uptake on planar bone scintigraphy alone. The addition of hybrid single-photon emi...
متن کاملRenal metastases shown by 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate scintigram which failed to detect vertebral metastases.
A patient with breast metastases is presented showing increased nodular renal uptake of tracer on bone scintigraphy that also demonstrated rib metastases and a large metastasis in the pelvis. However, vertebral body metastases were not shown when clearly demonstrated on CT with even partial compression on a thoracic spine film. Most of the renal lesions were hypoechoic on sonography, showed hyp...
