Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer and accounts for 30-40% of all malignancies. A retrospective review was performed of the hospital records of 9 children, 6 boys and 3 girls, aged from 2.5 to 15 years with ALL initially referred to Nemazee hospital Nuclear medicine center for whole body bone scanning between 2000 and 2002. Bone marrow pathology established ALL (L1) in two and ALL (...
Bone scintigraphy has some limitations in detecting bone lesions at the time of diagnosis since Tc99m MDP scintigraphy does not trace lesions lacking osteoblastic activity3. Tc99m Sestamibi (MIBI) has been proposed as a potential tracer in patients with multiple myeloma, as its increased uptake in the bone marrow has been reported as an indicator of myeloma activity4. It has been suggested to b...
BACKGROUND Cardiac transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis is a progressive and fatal cardiomyopathy for which several promising therapies are in development. The diagnosis is frequently delayed or missed because of the limited specificity of echocardiography and the traditional requirement for histological confirmation. It has long been recognized that technetium-labeled bone scintigraphy tracers can...
Bone scintigraphy being a highly sensitive modality is useful in the detection of skeletal metastases in cancer patients. The procedure does not pose any radiation risks to the patients. To improve the specificity of the modality, proper patient selection is important. This article explores the application of bone scintigraphy in detection of metastatic cancer with an insight about patient sele...
Bone scintigraphy of metastatic lesion on 128 patients with prostatic cancer were classified according to the proposal by Soloway et al (Cancer, 61; 195-202, 1988). Since all patients received endocrine therapy, the response to therapy and survival were examined in relation to bone lesion. In extent of disease (EOD) 1, main metastatic lesions were located in the pelvis, lumbar spine, and with i...
thallium 201 whole body scintigraphy was performed in a 30 year old patient with diffuse osseous metastatic disease secondary to glioblastoma multiforme. multiple sites of thallium uptake correlated with the findings on serial bone scans and radiographs. bone biopsy of a lower lumbar vertebra confirmed that the metastases were of glial origin.
Parathyroid carcinoma is very rare, with only a few documented cases. Hence, metastatic lesions are infrequently documented on scintigraphic imaging. We present a case of a 63-year-old female presenting with elevated serum levels of ionized calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) who was referred to our department for a parathyroid scan with SPECT/ CT. Parathyroid scintigraphy showed a focus of i...
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...
a 29- year old female with bone pain and history of precocious puberty was referred for bone scintigraphy. on physical examination café au lait macular spots were noted on her neck, buttocks and left leg. bone scan showed multiple areas of intense increased activity which was in favour of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia. considering the presence of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, precocious pubert...
Current treatment of metastatic bone prostate cancer with Docetaxel chemotherapy per CHAARTED trial is standard of care. Timing of CT and bone scintigraphy for evaluation of successful treatment of lytic lesions is not available in the literature. We present a case of a 70 year old male with PSA of 586 and wide spread metastatic bone lytic lesions, who underwent androgen deprivation therapy and...
