Extra osseous uptake of 99mTc-MDP in psoas muscle on bone scintigraphy: Importance of SPECT/CT imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Incidental extra-osseous uptake of 99mTc-MDP on bone scintigraphy has been frequently reported in the literature; however, calcification of the psoas muscle is a rare condition, which has been reported on magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) imagings. Here we report a 67-year-old woman with acute paraplegia and low back pain who was referred for a 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy. A destructive lesion in lumbar vertebrae was identified; which was compatible with the findings on CT scan. The planar images also showed focally increased activity in the right pelvis, which was confirmed as extra osseous MDP uptake in psoas muscle on the SPECT/CT images.

Amyloidosis is characterized by an abnormal extracellular deposition of amyloid in different organs, where it usually causes some type of dysfunction. Its cause is unknown. Five different types of amyloidosis have been described according to the underlying disease; immunoglobulin amyloidosis, familial amyloidosis, senile systemic amyloidosis, secondary amyloidosis and hemodialysis-associa...

The uptake of (99m)Tc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) in malignant pleural effusions and, rarely, in nonmalignant pleural effusions has been well documented in the literature. Although the exact mechanism of uptake in these conditions remains unclear, there have been attempts to use the bone scintigraphic features of pleural effusion to predict sensitivity and specificity for malignancy based on ...

Background. Numerous possible artifacts may render the evaluation of bone scans difficult. Case reports. This article provides a pictorial survey of both typical and extraordinary pitfalls in bone scintigraphy, which are caused by increased or reduced tracer accumulation of soft tissue or bone. Conclusions. One should be aware, that in individual patients, "artifacts" in bone scintigraphy lead ...

A 64-year-old woman, with amyloid related kidney failure (On renal dialysis) had a bone scan because of pain in the right upper femur. The 99m Tc-MDP images revealed marked hepatic uptake. In addition, there was right proximal femoral concentration of radiotracer, which corresponded to a fracture site. As an added finding, the same femor demonstrated circumferential uptake at the lower po...

متن کاملBone turnover markers are correlated with total skeletal uptake of 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP)
BACKGROUND Skeletal uptake of 99mTc labelled methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) is used for producing images of pathological bone uptake due to its incorporation to the sites of active bone turnover. This study was done to validate bone turnover markers using total skeletal uptake (TSU) of 99mTc-MDP. METHODS 22 postmenopausal women (52-80 years) volunteered to participate. Scintigraphy was p...
