Skeletal scintigraphyThe incidence of Paget's disease of bone in India is not as low as regarded earlier. Data are presented to show the utility of whole body bone scan in diagnosis and monitoring response to therapy with oral bisphosphonates. Seventeen patients were diagnosed primarily by bone ...
Substantial evidence indicates that skeletal scintigraphy is the most accurate method of demonstrating metastases to bone, particularly in patients with “early” breast cancer who have no manifestations of metastatic disease. In a study of 50 patients with advanced mammary carcinoma, skeletal metastases ...
Usefulness of hybrid SPECT/CT in 99mTc-HMPAO-labeled leukocyte scintigraphy for bone and joint infections. White blood cell scanning with (99m)Tc-hexamethylpropylene amine oxime (HMPAO) has proven highly sensitive and specific in the diagnosis and follow-up of p... L Filippi,O Schillaci - 《...
In the child and adolescent, growth centers are responsible for enlargement of all components of the axial and appendicular skeleton. It is well recognized that bone-seeking tracers, which localize in direct relation to metabolic activity and blood supply, accumulate in greater amount at these sites...
AIM: The aim of this study was to compare (18)F-PET/CT and (99m)Tc-bone scintigraphy in the detection of skeletal in .: In this prospective study, 48 patients with (44 male and 4 female patients, aged 35-80 years) underwent (99m)Tc-planar and SPECT/CT bone scan (BS) followed ...

14 If PET is not available, bone scintigraphy might be also useful. Current guidelines recommend performing a CT scan of the chest and upper abdomen at diagnosis of NSCLC for tumor staging.15 If bone metastases are clinically suspected, bone imaging is required. In addition to PET and CT for...
Comparison of Accuracy in Calculation of Absorbed Dose to Patients Following Bone Scan with 99mTc-MDP by Two Different Background Correction Methods To improve the accuracy of the activity quantification and the image quality in scintigraphy, scatter correction is a vital procedure. The aim of this ...
