Inguinoscrotal Herniation of a Bladder Diverticulum on [Tc99m]-Methylene-Diphosponate (MDP) Bone Scan Diagnosed with SPECT/CT

چکیده
Inguinoscrotal hernias that contain bladder diverticulae are a rare occurrence. We report the case of a 85 yearold man with intense radioactivity overlying the left pubic tubercle on [Tc99m]-methylene-diphosponate (MDP) bone scan. SPECT/CT imaging established the diagnosis of excreted urinary radioactivity within a large herniated bladder diverticulum. SPECT/CT is a useful technique for evaluation of non-osseous uptake on [Tc99m]-MDP bone scintigraphy.

Sinus Tarsi Syndrome: Diagnosed on 99m-Tc MDP Bone SPECT/CT
Sinus Tarsi Syndrome is a cause of chronic ankle instability and pain. MRI of the ankle has been the modality of choice for diagnosing the condition. However, SPECT-CT offers an alternate modality for diagnosing and evaluation of the condition. We present the case of a footballer who was suffering from chronic right leg pain despite receiving physiotherapy. He was being managed as a case of a c...
متن کاملDemonstration of a congenital urine bladder diverticulum by 99mTc-MDP SPET/CT scan in a female with bone metastases.
Urine bladder diverticula are usually asymptomatic, therefore they are incidentally diagnosed during examinations for other purposes. A Chinese patient, with a history of pulmonary adenocarcinoma first underwent a technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate whole-body bone scan. In addition to multiple skeletal metastases, abnormal shape of the urine bladder was also noted, which overlapped the supe...

An enostosis or bone island is a benign bony lesion that is almost diagnosed based on clinical and radiologic defining characteristics. One of the known diagnostic procedures in the evaluation of enostosis is bone scintigraphy. Generally, we don’t expect to see increased uptake by enostosis in the bone scan. Herein we present a 52-year-old lady who was suffering from chronic low back pain that ...

A 72-year-old male with a history of prostate cancer and high prostate specific antigen levels underwent 99mtechnetium-methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT), to identify bone metastasis. The patient possessed no previous history of serious illnesses or surgical procedures and no family history of malignancies. A whole-body ...
