osteitis fibrosa cystica is the classic patognomonic form of skeletal disease in hyperparathyroidism that characterizes with decreased cortical bone thickness compared to increased cancellous bone. we present a case of 52-year old female patient with osteolysis of the left calf on radiographic images. the bone scan detected multiple focal pathological accumulations in the skull, left tibia, bot...

osteoporosis is a skeletal disease characterized by reduction in bone mass and micro architectural changes in the bone, which leads to increased bone fragility. the gold standard for the diagnosis of osteoporosis is the measurement of bone mineral density (bmd) by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (dxa). periodontal disease is a chronic destructive disease which can occur in adults, young people...

In spite of very high sensitivity, bone scan is quite nonspecific in evaluation of bony lesions. In interpretation of bone scan special attention to patient’s clinical presentation and correlation with other lab and imaging modalities should be paid. In this report a patient with Erdheim Chester disease a rare and unusual form of lipidosis is presented and the pattern of 99mTc-MDP bone sc...

background different clinical and epidemiological studies using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry have shown an increased prevalence of low bone mineral density in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases.the aim of this study was to assess the correlation between bone density and the disease activity in patients with ulcerative colitis. methods in this cross-sectional study, 52 patients with u...
