Localized kidney uptake of bone imaging agent following renal irradiation
Authors
Abstract:
A 14 years old girl, with documented Ewing's sarcoma, was treated by both chemotherapy and surgery. An initial bone scan (TC-99m-MI)I*) did not reveal a renal lesion. However, following therapeutic irradiation, there was retention of the bone imaging agent in a portion of the kidney that had been included in the radiation field. This reflected the effects of radiation related parenchymal alteration rather than retention of the bone imaging agent due to outflow tract obstruction, or to the presence of tumor.

A 64-year-old woman, with amyloid related kidney failure (On renal dialysis) had a bone scan because of pain in the right upper femur. The 99m Tc-MDP images revealed marked hepatic uptake. In addition, there was right proximal femoral concentration of radiotracer, which corresponded to a fracture site. As an added finding, the same femor demonstrated circumferential uptake at the lower po...

Nanoparticles are unique that enable many promising medical and technological applications intheir physical, and chemical properties. It is widely accepted that nanoparticles should bethoroughly tested for health nanotoxicity, but a moderate risk analysis is currently prevented by arevealing absence of mechanistic knowledge of nanoparticle toxicity.
