The value of quantitative uptake of (99m)Tc-MDP and (99m)Tc-HMPAO white blood cells in detecting osteomyelitis in violated peripheral bones.
UNLABELLED Our objective in this study was to evaluate whether measurement of quantitative uptake of (99m)Tc-methylene diphosphate (MDP) and (99m)Tc-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (HMPAO) white blood cells (WBCs) is useful in detecting osteomyelitis in peripheral bony lesions. METHODS Twenty-four patients (12 men and 12 women; age range, 25-72 y) were referred for imaging because of clinicall...
متن کاملDiagnostic Role of Combined 99mTc-Hmpao Leucocyte Scintigraphy and 99mTc-MDP Bone Scintigraphy in the Diagnosis of Osteomyelitis in the Diabetic Foot
Background: The aim of this study to assess the role of 99mTc-HMPAO leucocyte scintigraphy combined with 99mTcMDP bone scintigraphy in the diagnosis of the diabetic foot infection. Methods: 50 diabetic patients with suspected osteomyelitis were included. The HMPAO-Leucocytes/MDP scan was considered to be consistent with osteomyelitis when the HMPAOLeucocytes uptake was concordant with MDP bone ...
متن کاملIncreased uptake of 99mTc-HMPAO in necrotic brain tumors.
99mTc complex of hexamethylpropylene amine oxime (99mTc-HMPAO), which has been used as a tracer for regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), has been shown to localize in primary brain tumors with wide spectrum of its uptake. The causes of the wide spectrum of tumor uptake, however, has not been understood in detail. We performed autoradiographic study with this agent to get further knowledge about...
متن کاملBreast 99mTc-MDP uptake in a man mimicking metastatic lesion of the ribs
A 65 year-old overweight man with a history of prostate cancer was referred to our nuclear medicine department for bone scanning. Anterior projection images showed two small foci of increased radiotracer uptake corresponding to the anterior arcs of the right and left sixth ribs, which were interpreted as suspicious for metastatic involvement. Eight months later the ...
متن کاملComparative study of 99mTc-ECD and 99mTc-HMPAO for peri-ictal SPECT: qualitative and quantitative analysis.
OBJECTIVES Most studies that clinically validated peri-ictal SPECT in intractable partial epilepsy had used technetium-99m-hexamethylpropylene amine oxime (99mTc-HMPAO or 99mTc-exametazime) as the radiopharmaceutical. Because of some theoretical advantages, technetium-99m-ethyl cysteinate diethylester (99mTc-ECD or 99mTc-bicisate) is increasingly being used instead. This study compares unstabil...
