Skeletal scintigraphy is one of the most commonly requested nuclear medicine tests. Extraosseous conditions including myositis have been described with this imaging modality. A 75-year-old febrile gentleman was initially suspected to have right lower leg cellulitis. A lower limb Doppler ultrasound revealed fi ndings suggestive of myositis without focal abscess or collection in the right pretibi...
OBJECTIVE In this study, it was aimed to investigate the agreement between early phase of bone scintigraphy - human immunoglobulin scintigraphy (EPBS-HIG) and late phase bone scintigraphy - HIG (LPBS-HIG) in the determination of the presence and also the severity of inflammatory arthritis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-eight patients (23 female, 5 male; between 19 to 80 years of age) with infla...
AIM To detect subclinical peripheral arthritis and disease activity in axial seronegative spondyloarthritis (SpA) patients using bone scintigraphy. METHODS Seronegative SpA patients with an established diagnosis and no clinically evident arthritis at the time of the study were included. After excluding symptomatic cases, 20 patients were recruited; 18 with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and anot...
OBJECTIVE The optimization of medical exposure is one of the major issues regarding radiation protection in the world, and The International Committee of Radiological Protection and the International Atomic Energy Agency recommend establishing diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) as tools for dose optimization. Therefore, the development of DRLs based on the latest survey has been required for nu...
To the Editor, We report a 52-year-old male patient with bone marrow and skeletal system involvement of sarcoidosis. In sarcoidosis, while bone involvement occurs at a rate of 10%-15%, iliac bone and bone marrow involvement is less common [1,2]. A 52-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with increased lower back pain with activity for the last 2 months. The patient occasionally coug...
Calyceal diverticula are outpouchings of a renal calyx. Often found incidentally on radiological imaging, they are generally benign and usually asymptomatic, although complications include infection and stone formation. More importantly, calyceal diverticula may mimic other potentially more serious pathology on imaging, such as renal tumour or abscess on ultrasound or computed tomography and ev...
syndrome consisting of clubbing of the digits of the hands and feet, enlargement of the extremities secondary to periarticular and osseous proliferation, and painful and swollen joints. The condition has been divided into two categories, primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, also known as “pachydermoperiostosis”, and secondary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, frequently referred to as “hypertrop...
Objective(s): Nuclear medicine technologists in Japan often perform additional single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with or without computed tomography (CT) after whole-body imaging for bone scintigraphy. In this study, we wanted to identify the bone scanning protocols used in Japan, together with the current clinical practices. Methods:...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate therapy with high doses of (111)Indium pentetreotide in a patient with bone metastases from a carcinoid of the pancreas. CASE REPORT A 55-Year-old male presented in November 1990 with stomach ache with dorsal irradiation. Ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT-) scans of the abdomen revealed a tumour of the tail of the pancreas and liver metastases. Histological exa...
Osteomyelitis is an increasingly common pathology that often poses a diagnostic challenge to clinicians. Accurate and timely diagnosis is critical to preventing complications that can result in the loss of life or limb. In addition to history, physical exam, and laboratory studies, diagnostic imaging plays an essential role in the diagnostic process. This narrative review article discusses vari...
