Pixelized Measurement of 99mTc-HDP Micro Particles Formed in Gamma Correction Phantom Pinhole Scan: a Reference Study
Currently, traumatic bone diseases are diagnosed by assessing the micro 99mTc-hydroxymethylene diphosphonate (HDP) uptake in injured trabeculae with ongoing osteoneogenesis demonstrated by gamma correction pinhol...

Metabolic Bone Diseases and Drug-Induced Osteoporosis
Bone scintigraphy has traditionally been considered to be not as useful as radiography in the study of metabolic bone diseases including senile or postmenopausal osteoporosis, osteodystrophy, drug-induced oste...

PET-CT in Bone and Joint Diseases
Except for acute trauma such as fracture, contusion or sprain, and physical injury such as electric or thermal burn or freezing, the damage to cells in disease starts at the molecular or chemical level followe...

Soft-Tissue Tumors and Tumor-Like Conditions
Soft-tissue tumors are defined as neoplasms derived from nonepithelial extraskeletal tissue of the body excluding the reticuloendothelial system, neuroglial cells, and supporting tissue of various parenchymal ...

Clinical Applications
Understandably, the clinical use of bone scan was much restricted when first introduced in the early 1960s (Fleming et al. 1961). At that time bone scintigraphy was applied to the diagnosis of cancer metastasi...

Normal Variants and Artifacts
Recalling the expression “all is not gold that glitters”, increased uptake is not necessarily pathological. Indeed, normal bone scintigraphs are often altered or modified by physiological or anatomical factors...

Vascular Bone Disorders
Vascularity-related bone disorders of scintigraphic interest include avascular necrosis, infarction, dysbaric necrosis, hyperemic or congestive osteoporosis, congestive periostitis, and periostitis in Bürger’s...

Noninfective Osteitides
Noninfective osteitides are nonspecific inflammatory diseases of bone not caused by an infec tion. The causes are obscure and indeterminate except in radiation osteitis that results from ionizing radiation. Hi...

A Genetic Consideration of Skeletal Disorders
The human skeleton has the unique function of calcium storage and liberation in addition to locomotion and hematopoiesis, and acting as the body framework. Under the complex homeostatic regulation of calcitoni...

Osteochondroses and Related Diseases
This chapter discusses two etiologically and clinically similar, but pathohistologically dissimilar groups of bone diseases. The first group of osteochondroses is basically characterized by ischemic osteonecro...

Chapter
Infective and Infl ammatory Diseases of Bone
Bone infections and inflammations are among the most common and important indications for bone scintigraphy, the sensitivity of which has been firmly established (Duszynski et al. 1975; Gilday et al. 1975). Et...

Diseases of Joints and Soft-Tissue Infections
The joints are the sites of a great variety of diseases of known and unknown etiology (Table 8.1). The joint diseases of 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphic interest, pinhole scintigraphy in particular, include synoviti...

Chapter
Malignant Tumors of Bone
Malignant bone tumors are either primary or metastatic in nature. The high sensitivity and accuracy of 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy in diagnosing bone metastasis were established as long ago as 1961 (Fleming et al...

Introduction and Fundamentals of Pinhole Scintigraphy
To those who acquired their anatomical knowledge of the skeleton with the aid of clean, dried bone specimens or a plastic mannequin it may appear as a mere inert weight-bearing scaff old of the human body. How...
