Animal bone charcoal (ABC) produced from animal bones was used as adsorbent to remove Cr(VI) from its aqueous solution . Labority experimental investigation was carried out to identify the effect of contact of time, pH, adsorbent dose and initial concentration on the adsorption of chromium from metal solution. Results showed that pH 2 was the most suitable, while the removal of Cr(VI) ions with...

Background: The most frequent imaging techniques used by NM departments are skeletal scintigraphy and bone scans. To assess the protective measures anticipated radiation hazards, it is crucial to evaluate patient's doses for NMC staff. Objectives: Current research intended annual effective of radiology department’s staff during scans their health hazards due radiation. Methods: study was execut...

Radionuclide bone scanning has been a mainstay in the noninvasive evaluation of bone disease for decades. While SPECT imaging provides better evaluation of abnormal tracer uptake than planar scintigraphy, it still produces less than ideal anatomic localization. The introduction of hybrid SPECT/CT devices such as BrightView XCT has added value in improved localization of skeletal lesions and imp...

A woman with squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix, status post-irradiation therapy, was evaluated for skeletal metastasis. Technetium-99m hydroxy methylene diphosphonate bone images showed an area of abnormal radiotracer localization in the left abdomen corresponding to the descending colon. Contrast radiographic study using gastrograffin enema confirmed a large colovesical fistula bet...

Isolated skeletal metastasis in endometrial carcinoma at recurrence is very rare. We report a 52-year-old woman diagnosed to have FIGO Stage 1b, Grade 1 endometrioid adenocarcinoma, presenting with isolated distal humerus metastasis, 2 years after surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy for primary disease. Imaging, bone scintigraphy, and cytology confirmed the diagnosis of poorly differentiated meta...

Hydatid disease is common in many parts of the world, and causes considerable health and economic loss. This disease may develop in almost any part of the body.Bone involvement is often asymptomatic, and its diagnosis is primarily based on radiographic findings. A whole body bone scan is able to show the extent and distribution of lesions.We describe an unusual case of multifocal skeletal hydat...

Bone scintigraphy is an important diagnostic tool in the evaluation of skeletal pathologic conditions. However, the extraskeletal uptake of bone-seeking radiotracers is still an unexpected finding in most cases. We present a 5-year-old male with an unexpected focal accumulation of the radiotracer in the small bowel. Bowel accumulation of bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals has been seen previousl...

OBJECTIVE Neuroblastoma is the third most common malignancy of childhood. 131I-MIBG scintigraphy must be performed in patients with neuroblastoma at the time of staging. The aim of this study is to identify the role of 131I-MIBG scintigraphy in neuroblastoma patients in correlation with other diagnostic modalities for staging of the disease. METHODS Twenty six patients provisionally diagnosed...

Williams-Beuren syndrome is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder, characterized by congenital heart defects, abnormal facial features, mental retardation with specific cognitive and behavioral profile, growth hormone deficiency, renal and skeletal anomalies, inguinal hernia, infantile hypercalcaemia. We report a case with Williams-Beuren syndrome associated with a single kidney and nephrocalcinos...
