Nontraumatic rhabdomyolysis detected by technetium-99m HMDP scintigraphy.

Multiple extra-bone accumulations of technetium-99m-HMDP.

Bone scintigraphy was performed on a woman 2 y and 10 mo after surgery for rectal cancer. Intense extra-bone accumulations of 99mTc-HMDP were visible in an aortic atherosclerosis lesion and in a metastatic liver tumor. Uptake in the metastatic lesion was confirmed by x-ray CT. Uptake in the aortic lesion was shown as typical calcification by x-ray CT.

Detection of focal myeloma lesions by technetium-99m-sestaMIBI scintigraphy.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The tracer tachnetium-99m-2-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (Tc99m-sestaMIBI) has recently been shown to concentrate in some neoplastic tissues, including myeloma. We investigated the diagnostic capacity and limits of this procedure in tracing focal myeloma lesions, and compared them with those of conventional radiological procedures (Xr). DESIGN AND METHODS We studied 55...
