Sternal nonunion on bone scintigraphy: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Sternal non-union is a severe complication of sternotomy closure following open heart surgeries. Healing problems typically occur in 0.3% to 5% of patients. Technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) bone scintigraphy has been used to assess bone nonunion to predict the healing response for proper management. In this report, we present the case of a marked sternal nonunion following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), using radionuclide bone scintigraphy.

متن کاملAge-related normal variants of sternal uptake on bone scintigraphy.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to describe the variable age-related normal appearance of the sternal area on bone scintigraphy. METHODS We studied 334 patients (158 males and 176 females) aged 15 days to 85 years, mean age 32.5 +/- 19.9 years, who did not have symptoms associated with the sternum and chest wall or a history of malignancy. All patients underwent whole-body bone scan 3 h...
متن کاملRadionuclide Bone Scintigraphy: An Interesting Case Report
It is well established that Technetiummethylene diphosphonate (Tc MDP) whole body bone scintigraphy (WBBS) can demonstrate multiple lesions with increased radiotracer concentration in involved bone. But it is hard to differentiate multiple benign osteolytic lesions from disseminated bone metastases. Even combined with medical history and multiple imaging results, clinical diagnosis of metastati...
