Nuclear medicine in the form of three-phase 99mTc methylene diphosphonate scintigraphy (bone scan), 99mTc hexamethyl propylene white cell and gallium scanning has been used for the diagnosis and follow-up of NEO. Bone scanning is rapid and cheap and has a high specificity for detecting osteomyeli...
Differential diagnosis of trampoline fracture from osteomyelitis by bone scan with pinhole collimatorA 2-year-old girl with recent history of trampoline fall presented to the A&E Department for complete functional impairment of the left lower extremity and fever. Blood examination revealed an ...
Figure 4. MRI scan of a 25-year-old woman with multiple sclerosis, which was diagnosed at age 22. Note the hyperintense pericallosal white matter lesions. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which the patient's immune system reacts against the neuronal myelin sheath. In addition to...
Bone infarction (INF) occurs commonly in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), and is frequently associated with infarction of the bone marrow (INF). Clinically and radiographically it is difficult to distinguish INF from Osteomyelitis (OSTEO). Bone scan using Tc99 diphosphonate &/or bone ma...
Clinically and radiographically it is difficult to distinguish INF from Osteomyelitis (OSTEO). Bone scan using Tc99 diphosphonate &/or bone marrow scan using Tc99 Sulfur Colloid were done in 33 children (1-16 yrs.) with SCD (SS 32, S-C 1) who had localized bone pain and fever. Twenty...
MRI IS THE GOLD STANDARD, best for detecting disc space infection (98% sensitivity, 93% specificity) - Suppurative infection can impact blood supply - Healthy bone can form around this necrotic bone Osteomyelitis dx methods - WBC is often normal, but ESR and CRP are highly elevated - Blood ...
•Radiographs as indicated for evaluation •Bone scan – accurately marks site of disease •CT/MRI – limited use Bone scans are helpful since they can show metabolic activity Treatment •If asymptomatic - observation, close monitoring- PT, NSAIDs- Consider bisphosphonates with significant inv...
Here the MR, bone scan and the sonogram of the same patient with ABC. On the axial T2WI with fat saturation subtle sedimentation is seen. The bone marrow is completely normal. ABC in the talus ABC (7) Here another ABC in the talus. ...
