CT of primary muscle diseases.

چکیده
Seventy-five patients with a variety of muscular dystrophies were studied using computed tomography (CT). At least 11 slices were taken in each patient, from the forearm to the lower leg. Sufficient information was obtained to provide some CT characteristics of several dystrophies, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy, facioscapulohumeral syndrome, limb-girdle muscle myopathies, and myopathic dystrophies. CT promises to be of increasing value in these areas in the future.

متن کاملMuscle Biopsy
Muscle biopsy has been used for a long time for diagnosis of muscular, nerurogenic and systemic disorders with muscle involvement, because only very few of these disorders show sufficient specific clinical features for definite diagnosis. Since the presence of difficulties in the screening of numerous genes, muscle biopsy could be a time and cost effective procedure for solving the diagnostic p...
متن کاملSports activity done five days before PET/CT results in augmented FDG uptake in skeletal muscles
Increased metabolic activity in muscle secondary to excessive muscle activity during the uptake phase and shortly before FDG injection is a known phenomenon. We present FDG PET/CT findings in a young male, known case of carcinoma maxilla His scan showed diffuse increased metabolic activity in multiple skeletal muscle groups. There was history of unaccustomed, strenuous sports activity of skiing...
متن کاملDiagnostic performance of 18F-FDG PET-CT in patients presenting with secondary neck nodes from an unknown primary
Introduction: Clinical examination and even anatomical imaging may fail to identify primary site of malignancy in patients presenting with cervical nodal metastasis. 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Computed Tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) is known to overcome the limitations of anatomic imaging. Methods: Sixty-three (63) patient...
متن کاملExtra osseous uptake of 99mTc-MDP in psoas muscle on bone scintigraphy: Importance of SPECT/CT imaging
Incidental extra-osseous uptake of 99mTc-MDP on bone scintigraphy has been frequently reported in the literature; however, calcification of the psoas muscle is a rare condition, which has been reported on magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) imagings. Here we report a 67-year-old woman with acute paraplegia and low back pain who was referred for a 99mTc-MDP...
