Comparison of 99mTc-MDP and 99mTc-MIBI whole body scans for diagnosis of widespread skeletal metastases [Persian]
Skeletal metastasis is one of the most important disabling complications of the malignant diseases. As in general, the survival of patients with osteometastatic lesions is relatively long, an early diagnosis can lead to improve the patient’s life, both quantitatively and qualitatively, and prevent exacerbation of the disease and disabling complications. In this study, 22 patients with est...
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 کاملComparison of 99mTc-3PRGD2 Integrin Receptor Imaging with 99mTc-MDP Bone Scan in Diagnosis of Bone Metastasis in Patients with Lung Cancer: A Multicenter Study
PURPOSE 99mTc-3PRGD2, a promising tracer targeting integrin receptor, may serve as a novel tumor-specific agent for single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). A multi-center study was prospectively designed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 99mTc-3PRGD2 imaging for bone metastasis in patients with lung cancer in comparison with the conventional 99mTc-MDP bone scan. METHODS The p...
متن کاملChronic bronchitis mimicking metastases from thyroid medullary carcinoma demonstrated by indium-111 pentetreotide scintigraphy
We present a case of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) with pulmonary symptoms, elevated calcitonin and CEA levels. Both [111In]pentetreotide (Octreoscan) scintigraphy and 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) scan revealed mild increased uptake of radionuclides in the upper lobe of the right lung compatible with metastases. Histopathologi...
متن کاملExtraosseous accumulation of Technetium-99m-Methyl Diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) in a child with ALL: A Case Report
Extraosseous accumulation of technetium-99m-methyl diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) on bone scan is not common. This phenomenon is often attributed to abnormality of calcium metabolism and has been reported in a variety of conditions including metabolic diseases and malignancies. A five years old boy is presented here, who was admitted to the pediatric emergency suffering from fatigue, respiratory sym...
