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 scan and...

FDG PET CT scan is considered to be a sensitive tool to detect skeletal metastasis in known malignancies. However, it’s high sensitivity and low specificity may account for false positive diagnosis in cases of trauma, infection, inflammation and other benign conditions. Skeletal hemangioma is one of the common benign conditions which are typically ametabolic on FDG PET CT with no uptake on bone...

the imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) is challenging and plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and staging of the disease. a variety of imaging modalities, such as ultrasound, computed tomography (ct), magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and nuclear medicine are currently used in evaluating patients with hcc. although the best option for the treatment of these cases is hepatic resection or...
