Gamma Correction 99mTc-HDP Pinhole Bone Scan of Callused Trabecular Microfracture in Surgical Specimen: Histological Validation
CTMF (callused trabecular microfracture) ubiquitously occurs in osteoporosis (Vernon-Roberts and Pirie 1973), contusion (Mandalia and Henson 2008), aseptic osteonecrosis (McFarland and Frost 1961), inflammator...

Chapter
Corroborative Analysis of Callused Trabecular Microfracture on 99mTc-HDP Pinhole Bone Scan, Surgical Specimen, GCPBS, and H&E Stain
As anticipated the shape and size of trabecular fracture widely vary presenting as pinpoint, speckle, rod-like, archipelagic, geographic, and amorphously crushed tracer uptake. Indeed, some are large and some ...

Differential Diagnosis of Bone Marrow Edema and Hemorrhage and Callused Trabecular Microfracture with Gamma Correction 99mTc-HDP Pinhole Bone Scan Validation
Bone marrow edema (BME), bone marrow hemorrhage (BMH), and trabecular microfracture (TMF) comprise a basic triad of bone marrow pathologies ubiquitously incited by trauma, sports, osteoporosis, inflammation, i...

99mTc-HDP Pinhole Bone Scanning
99mTc-HDP (hydroxymethylene diphosphonate) pinhole bone scanning is an ordinary bone imaging technique upgraded by the additional use of a 4-mm aperture pinhole collimator (Bahk et al. 1987; Kim et al. 1999). How...

Gamma Correction 99mTc-HDP Pinhole Bone Scan of Trabecular Microfracture and Endosteal Rimming in Rat
During the recent years, we published some articles on gamma correction medical imaging, gamma correction 99mTc-HDP pinhole bone scan (GCPBS) in particular, for the specific diagnosis of callused trabecular micro...

Chapter
Gamma Correction 99mTc-HDP Pinhole Bone Scan Demonstration of Callused Trabecular Microfracture
Gamma correction 99mTc-HDP pinhole bone scan can uniquely demonstrate CTMF along with bone metabolic profile. The smallest CTMF imaged on gamma correction pinhole bone scan measures 200 μm in size and this size i...

Mathematic and Magnifying Lens Measurements of 99mTc-HDP Uptake in Callused Trabecular Microfracture
Recently, we developed two kinds of different size-measurement method of the 99mTc-HDP uptake in CTMF. One is the mathematic size quantitation of micro-uptake formed in a gamma correction pinhole scan phantom (Ju...

ACDSee-10 Gamma Correction 99mTc-HDP Pinhole Bone Scan of Normal Adult Bone Skeleton Viewed from the Stand Point of Wolff’s Law
Julius Wolff stated in 1892 that “Every change in the form and function of bone or of their function alone is followed by certain definite changes in their internal architecture, and equally definite alteratio...

Chapter
ACDSee-10 Gamma Correction Conventional Radiography for Demonstration and Size Measurement of Callused Trabecular Microfracture
Presumably due to rapid, astonishing development of sophisticated modern imaging means such as MRI and MDCT the golden valued conventional radiography seemed to have become unimportantly treated and left behin...

Introduction
As well-known medical imaging science was naturally born in the moment of the discovery of X-ray by W. C. Röntgen in November of 1895 in Würzburg and decades afterward it was followed by the clinical nuclear m...

Preoperative Radiograph and Gamma Correction 99mTc-HDP Pinhole Scan of Femoral Neck Fracture in Patients
One day before surgery both conventional radiography and 99mTc-HDP pinhole bone scan were taken in order to anatomically and biochemically confirm the diagnosis of acute femoral neck fracture and thereby resulted...
