We report a three-phase bone scintigraphy for the diagnosis of a peripheral bone lesion caused by systemic sarcoidosis. A 32-year-old man with suspected osteomyelitis of the right forefinger underwent three-phase bone scintigraphy with Tc-99m hydroxymethylene diphosphonate (HMDP) and single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT). The lesion was rich in blood flow acc...

The aim of this study was to highlight the contribution bone scintigraphy in assessment extension osteophilic cancers Senegal. This a retrospective study, with descriptive and analytical purpose, carried out over period four (04) years between January 01, 2018 December 31, 2021. It focused on files patients who underwent for an cancer during period. According prostate by far most representative...

Introduction: In this study the automatic separation of oral and salivary gland activity and spontaneous secretion by means of factor analysis for quantitative salivary gland scintigraphy is introduced. Methods: After intravenous administration of 99mTc sodium pertechnetate, dynamic scintigraphy was performed. 20 minutes after tracer application 2 ml of lemon juice was delivered to stimulate t...

INTRODUCTION Osseous tuberculosis can be present with unifocal or multifocal bony involvement. Although multifocal involvement of the skeletal system in areas where tuberculosis is endemic is not a rare presentation, its exact prevalence is not well known. A case of atypical skeletal tuberculosis mimicking multiple secondary metastases on radiologic and scintigraphic imaging is presented to emp...

The present study was sought to assess the relative use of eight biomarkers for the detection of bone metastases in cancer forms frequently spreading to the skeleton. Participants were 161 patients with either breast, prostate, or lung cancer. The presence and extent of bone metastases was assessed by imaging techniques (computer tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging) and Technetium-99m ...

Background. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics, the radiological findings, and the treatment effect on the patients with bone metastases from malignant melanoma. Patients and methods. Retrospective review of 293 stage IV melanoma patients during a 15-year period was made. Results. Twenty-eight patients (9.5%) with bone metastases were identified; all patients had ...

Skeletal involvement is the second most common site of metastases after lymph nodal metastases in patients with prostate cancer. The skeletal metastases from prostate cancer are osteoblastic in nature and show increased tracer avidity on the bone scan. Focal tracer avid lesion in skeleton especially in skull requires the careful examination by further investigation. The patients with skull meta...

Stanford University, Department of Radiology, Division of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, USA Here we prospectively compared the combined 18F NaF/18F FDG PET/ MRI against 99mTc-MDP in patients with breast and prostate cancers. Twelve patients referred for 99mTc-MDP bone scans were prospectively enrolled from Oct 14 Jan 15. The cohort included 6 men with prostate cancer and 6 women with ...

PURPOSE Several recent medical reports have focused attention on the possible application of skeletal scintigraphy imaging in odontostomatology. The aim of the present report was to assess the influence of immediate prosthetic loading on peri-implant osteoblastic activity through bone scintigraphy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Implants were placed in 2 healthy women. A nuclear medicine investigation...
