Introduction: Almost all malignant tumors have the potential to eventually produce bone metastasis. The aim of the current study was to report the distribution pattern and imaging characteristics of bone metastases detected by conventional whole body bone scintigraphy in patients with different types of malignancies and to assess their relationship with the complain...

background : a significant number of patients who receive palliative irradiation for painful bone metastases experience pain flare, defined as a distressing transient increase in pain not immediately controlled by additional analgesics. this pain is postulated to be due to edema at the onset of radiotherapy. this study aims to compare the incidence of bone pain flare among patients who receive ...

introduction:targeted radionuclide therapy (trt) has been demonstrated to be an effective therapeutic tool in patients with disseminated bone metastasis. trt is generally performed with a single radionuclide. in this study we investigated the feasibility of combined trt with a high-energy beta emitter (153sm) and a low energy beta emitter (177lu) in wistar rats. methods: the cocktail complex of...

Introduction: Although there are several ways to relief pain in metastatic patients, the use of radionuclides is one of the known and effective ways to relieve the pain caused by bone metastases. The purpose of this study was to assessment of radiation dose distribution of different radioisotopes used to treatment and pain relief patients in a bone-based model based on Monte C...
