Marked gastric uptake of Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate (MDP) in a patient with myeloma and hypercalcemia
A 59-year-old man presented with a 7-month history of increasing left shoulder pain. The initial plain films showed near absence of the left scapula and scattered lucent changes in the left humerus. A CT scan confirmed the presence of widespread lytic bony lesions, with a large soft-tissue mass centered around the left scapula. An isotope bone scan demonstrated marked uptake of MDP in the stoma...
متن کاملEvaluation of Finger Blood Flow with Tc-99m MDP (methylene diphosphonate)
BACKGROUND A variety of methods were used to establish objective diagnostic criteria of Raynaud's phenomenon. We intended to introduce another method, using radionuclide (Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate) scintigraphy, which is more objective, simple and economical than the past methods. METHODS The finger blood flow with radionuclide scintigraphy was evaluated in 10 patients of Raynaud's syndr...
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 کاملDiffuse splenic Tc-99m MDP uptake in hypersplenic patient.
A 52-year-old woman with nonspecific left leg pain was examined by Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate (MDP) bone scintigraphy. The patient had been a marble quarry worker for 10 years and had developed chronic congestive heart failure secondary to pneumoconiosis. Her hemoglobin analysis and hematologic findings were interpreted as being consistent with sickle cell beta+ thalassemia and also hypersp...
متن کاملIdiopathic hepatic uptake of (99m)Tc methylene diphosphonate: a case report.
OBJECTIVE Two sequential (99m)Tc methylene diphosphonate (MDP) scans were performed on a 42-y-old woman with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, chronic right pyelonephritis and anemia. The initial scan showed reduced skeletal uptake with intense and diffuse hepatic uptake. Because these findings were similar to those seen when excessive hydrolyzed-reduced (99m)Tc colloids are present in the r...
