A hallmark of ankylosing spondylitis is inflammation of the sacroiliac joint, the joint between the sacrum, which is the bony structure at the base of the spine, and the bones of the pelvis. In advanced cases, ankylosing spondylitis can cause new bone to grow in the inflamed areas and the ...
The proteins that cause inflammation change the pace at which old bone is removed and new is formed. Vitamin D deficiency.If your body can’t absorb vitamin D because of Crohn’s damage to the small bowel or a small bowel resection, you’re less likely to be able to absorb calcium and ...

It became evident that, together, those odd traits conveyed a signal that the skeleton was transformed to aid in supporting the huge body against gravity. For example, I found it quite interesting how the head of the femur (thigh bone) was oriented more directly into the hip socket in multi...

The Hounsfield scale, named after Sir Godfrey Hounsfield, is a quantitative scale for describing radiodensity. It is frequently used in CT scans, where its
The aim of the study was to assess the accuracy of quantitative SPECT/CT imaging in a clinical setting and to compare test results from two nuclear medicine departments. Phantom studies were carried out with two gamma cameras manufactured by GE Healthcar
