SUV measurement of normal vertebrae using SPECT/CT with Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate.
The purpose of this study is to perform quantitative measurement based on the standardized uptake value (SUV) of the uptake of Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate (MDP) in the normal vertebrae using a single photon emission tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) scanner. A retrospective study of patients with cancer or joint disorders was performed. We acquired data for a group of 29 patients (...
متن کاملRadioimmune Imaging of Diabetic Foot Infection - Tc-99m-Labelled Antigranulocyte Antibody in Combination with Tc-99m-Methylene Diphosphonate Bone Scintigraphy
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of immunoscintigraphy with Tc-99m-labelled antigranulocyte antibody in combination with Tc-99m-methylene-diphosphonate (MDP) bone scanning in diabetic foot infection. The study group comprised 42 Type 2 diabetics with foot infection. Preand postprandial blood glucose level, HbA1c, urinary glucose, microalbuminuria, total cholesterol, L...
متن کاملMarked gastric uptake of Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate (MDP) in a patient with myeloma and hypercalcemia
A 59-year-old man presented with a 7-month history of increasing left shoulder pain. The initial plain films showed near absence of the left scapula and scattered lucent changes in the left humerus. A CT scan confirmed the presence of widespread lytic bony lesions, with a large soft-tissue mass centered around the left scapula. An isotope bone scan demonstrated marked uptake of MDP in the stoma...
متن کاملEvaluation of Finger Blood Flow with Tc-99m MDP (methylene diphosphonate)
BACKGROUND A variety of methods were used to establish objective diagnostic criteria of Raynaud's phenomenon. We intended to introduce another method, using radionuclide (Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate) scintigraphy, which is more objective, simple and economical than the past methods. METHODS The finger blood flow with radionuclide scintigraphy was evaluated in 10 patients of Raynaud's syndr...
متن کاملIdiopathic hepatic uptake of (99m)Tc methylene diphosphonate: a case report.
OBJECTIVE Two sequential (99m)Tc methylene diphosphonate (MDP) scans were performed on a 42-y-old woman with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, chronic right pyelonephritis and anemia. The initial scan showed reduced skeletal uptake with intense and diffuse hepatic uptake. Because these findings were similar to those seen when excessive hydrolyzed-reduced (99m)Tc colloids are present in the r...
