Bone scintigraphy is a nuclear scanning test used to find abnormalities in the skeleton. Certain abnormal processes involving soft tissues can also cause skeletal accumulation of radiotracer during bone scintigraphy. We present a case of periarticular knee soft tissue 99mTc methylene diphosphonate uptake in a patient with asymmetric polyarthritis. A 33-year-old patient with asymmetric polyarthr...

Skeletal metastases are a most common event in prostate cancer patients with advanced cancer disease and a significant problem. Now a days imaging techniques such as bone scintigraphy with Technetium 99mMDP (methylene diphosphonate) is a frequently used method for detection of bone metastases. Without the aid of radiological tools it is difficult to diagnose, treat or follow bone metastases cas...

BACKGROUND The detection of occult bone metastases is a key factor in determining the management of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), especially when curative surgery is considered. This prospective study assessed the sensitivity of (18)F-labelled sodium fluoride in conjunction with positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-NaF PET/CT) for detecting RCC bone metastases, co...

A 50-yr-old man presented with intermittent hemoptysis and was diagnosed small cell lung cancer. (18)F-FDG PET/CT for staging demonstrated extensive hypermetabolic lesions throughout the skeleton and liver. Interestingly, skeletal muscles of limbs, mediastinum, bowel, and especially brain showed very low FDG uptake. Because of some characteristics in common with super scan on skeletal scintigra...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new protocol for axial Whole Body-MRI imaging performed with a continuously moving table platform in comparison to Whole Body-MRI using a multi-station coronal Turbo-STIR as a staging and screening method in cancer patients.The first results of our study demonstrated that Whole Body-MRI as a fast and accurate examination in cancer patients in nearly 1...
