Demonstration of melorheostosis on bone scan
Background: Melorheostosis has been discussed infrequently in the nuclear medicine literature. A 25-year-old female patient presented with a one-year history of b:union: pain, sclerotic change and skin pigmentation on the left big toe interphalangeal joint. Ulceration, poor healing and hyperkeratoses of the wound were noted post debridement. The plain film of the left foot incidentally showed m...
متن کاملAutomated PET-only quantification of amyloid deposition with adaptive template and empirically pre-defined ROI.
Amyloid PET is useful for early and/or differential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Quantification of amyloid deposition using PET has been employed to improve diagnosis and to monitor AD therapy, particularly in research. Although MRI is often used for segmentation of gray matter and for spatial normalization into standard Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) space where region-of-inte...
متن کاملFracture Visualization and Quantification Using Helical CT Scan Technology*
Fracture characteristics—such as orientation, type, fluid storage capability, and permeability—are complex yet essential information for understanding fractured reservoirs. Fractures are often perceived as permeable pathways, although many fractures partially or completely inhibit permeability within a reservoir. For example, opening-mode fractures (joints) may be partially or entirely sealed h...
متن کاملNeuroinflammation and β amyloid deposition in Alzheimer's disease: in vivo quantification with molecular imaging.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Its relationship with underlying β amyloid deposition remains unclear. In vivo visualization of microglial activation has become possible with the development of molecular imaging ligands when used with positron emission tomography (PET). The translocator protein (TSPO) is upregulated during ...
متن کاملMultifocal skeletal tuberculosis: Bone scan appearance [Persian]
Multifocal skeletal tuberculosis in not uncommon in the countries with tuberculosis. The clinical onest is insidious and sometimes nonspecific, resulting in delay or misdiagnosis. Bone scan appearance is presented in some reports, as multiple abnormal accumulations of tracer. This report describes an unusual presentation of multifocal skeletal tuberculosis.
