Inguinoscrotal hernias that contain bladder diverticulae are a rare occurrence. We report the case of a 85 yearold man with intense radioactivity overlying the left pubic tubercle on [Tc99m]-methylene-diphosponate (MDP) bone scan. SPECT/CT imaging established the diagnosis of excreted urinary radioactivity within a large herniated bladder diverticulum. SPECT/CT is a useful technique for evaluat...

Background: Breast cancer is the most frequent female cancer, especially in 'developed' countries. 30-85% of metastatic breast patients will develop bone metastases during course disease. The study was aimed to evaluate pattern skeletal metastasis with whole body scan using 99mTechnetium methyl diphosphonate (99m'Tc-MDP). Methods: This single center based retrospective observational conducted a...

A 64-year-old woman, with amyloid related kidney failure (On renal dialysis) had a bone scan because of pain in the right upper femur. The 99m Tc-MDP images revealed marked hepatic uptake. In addition, there was right proximal femoral concentration of radiotracer, which corresponded to a fracture site. As an added finding, the same femor demonstrated circumferential uptake at the lower po...

Osteopoikilosis is a benign but rare condition characterized by bone islands throughout the osseous tissue, which could be easily confused with bone metastasis. We present a case of a 37-year-old man presented to orthopedic outpatient clinic with right hip pain for 2 weeks. There were multiple, small punctate lesions scattered throughout the skeleton on radiograph. Subsequent Tc-99m methylene d...

A 72-year-old male with a history of prostate cancer and high prostate specific antigen levels underwent 99mtechnetium-methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT), to identify bone metastasis. The patient possessed no previous history of serious illnesses or surgical procedures and no family history of malignancies. A whole-body ...

A 6-year-old, female Alaskan malamute domestic dog was presented for a bone scintigraphy with a soft tissue tumour of 4 months duration. The tumour at the time of scintigraphic examination was 10 cm in diameter and was localized in the lateral line on the right chest along the 11th rib. Pathologic diagnosis based upon fine needle biopsy was osteogenic sarcoma. The aim of the scan was to assess ...

The value of 99mTc-Methylene diphosphanate (99mTc-MDP) bone scan in predicting development of bony destruction, swelling, new bone erosions and skeletal deformities in small joints and bones was studied by visual evaluation of bone scans. 99m Tc-MDP was injected intravenously. 3 hours after the 99mTc-MDP injection, they have been underwent spot views of entire skeletons with planar scintigraphy...

the aim of this study was to assess the value of 99mtc-hexakis-2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (mibi) scintigraphy in patients with clinical and radiologic features of primary or metastatic musculoskeletal tumors. methods: the scintigraphic findings for 84 patients were compared with the surgical and histologic findings. each patient underwent three-phase bone scan with 99mtc-methylene diphosphonat...
