Radionuclide Imaging in Inflammatory Skeletal Disease
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Skeletal scintigraphy is, in addition to plain radiography, the most important method for diagnosing inflammatory skeletal disease. It is important for the localisation of inflammation as well as for its highly negative, predictive value. The patients reported in this study were examined by three-phase scintigraphy by which the inflammatory process was detected in soft tissue (hyperaemia) in the first and second phases and in bone tissue (local increase in radioactivity) in the third, delayed phase. A comparison with other scintigraphic methods is discussed.

Bone and soft tissue disease is kind of detrimental disease and the precise diagnosis and timely therapy is also the clinical doctors’ object of a prolonged endeavour. This chapter will introduce the diagnostic and therapeutic methods of bone and soft tissue diseases with nuclear medicine techniques. The singular advantages of skeletal scintigraphy are high sensitivity in detecting early diseas...
متن کاملI-55: Molecular Imaging Overview
Molecular imaging is the noninvasive visualization of normal as well as abnormal cellular processes at a molecular or genetic level of function. It is used to provide characterization and measurement of biological processes in living animals and humans (in vivo). The discipline of molecular imaging evolved rapidly over the past decade through the integration of cell biology, molecular biology a...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging and high-resolution computed tomography in the otospongiotic phase of otosclerosis.
Otosclerosis very often leads to severe hearing loss in a chronic progressive manner. In the first phase of the disease, otospongiosis causes an inflammatory osteolytic process in the osseous labyrinthine capsule. In the cases reported here, this osteolytic process was pronounced in the osseous capsule of the cochlea. High-resolution CT and MRI showed the precise localization and stage of this ...
متن کاملSphenoid Bone Fibrous Dysplasia Detected Incidentally on Bone Scintigraphy by the Contribution of SPECT/CT Hybrid Imaging
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign fibroosseous bone disorder. It has poliostotic and monostotic patterns. Monostotic FD is frequently asymptomatic and is usually discovered incidentally by radiologic imaging performed for other reasons. Bone scintigraphy is valuable for identifying disease extent. Craniofacial FD (CFD) is a form of the disease where lesions are limited to contiguous bones of t...

Introduction: In Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT), the administration of radionuclide such as Lu-177 label with a pharmaceutical agent useful to destroy the lesion. The amount of Lu-177 radioactivity administered to the patients is still not standardize and generally not more than 7.4 GBq per session due to the patient’s safety issues. The first cycle of Lu-177 is a...
