چکیده
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.

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of prednisolone on the sensitivity of bone scanning to detect the simulated closed fracture in the rat tibia. Methods: A total number of forty eight adult, male NMRI rats randomly assigned into two parts, one part for 4 and other for 8 weeks experiments. Each part has been divided into four groups, one group not receivi...

Uptake of technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate by the rectus abdominis muscle was unexpectedly found in a 29 year old man who had started to perform 30 to 40 sit ups a day for five days before the bone scan. After a week of rest, serum creatine kinase activity was still abnormal but muscle uptake of technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate had ceased. This specific muscle injury after short ter...
