Bone scintigraphy

In another study by the same group, [ F]-fluoride-PET/CT was compared with [ F]-fluoride-PET, bone scintigraphy and SPECT in 44 patients with high-risk prostate cancer [195]. For detection of skeletal metastatic spread [ F]-fluoride-PET/CT revealed to be significantly more sensitive and specific than bone scintigraphy (p < 0.05) and SPECT (p < 0.05), and significantly more specific than [i F]-fluoride-PET (p < 0.001).

Severe bone pain, previously reported in ciclosporin-treated patients (SED-14, 1291), also occurred as a possible consequence of tacrolimus treatment in a 50-year-old woman (86). Bilateral knee pain occurred within 2 months after renal transplantation and bone scintigraphy showed increased uptake in both knees. Calcitonin was ineffective, and she improved only after the dose of tacrolimus was reduced. [Pg.3285]

Up to now unlicensed radiopharmaceuticals (e.g., C-raclopride, F-fluoride for bone scintigraphy, etc.) the manufacturer, i.e., the local radiopharmacy, has to perform a full analysis according to the monograph of the Ph. Eur. [Pg.163]

Due to in vivo instability, Tc-PYP is no longer used for bone scintigraphy. [Pg.276]

Pediatric Dose. The amount of radioactivity for infants and children administered for bone scintigraphy is based on body weight, using the scaling factors given in Appendix 1, Table A1.2. The minimum value of the scaling factor is 0.1, since activities below 10% of the value of the adult radioactivity have resulted in poor image quality. [Pg.284]

The effective (whole body) dose value for Tc-diphosphonates is 0.0057 mSv/MBq (International Commission on Radiological Protection 1998). The effective dose in adults (70 kg) resulting from 740 MBq (20 mCi) of intravenously injected Tc-dipho-sphonate complexes for bone scintigraphy is approximately 4.2 mSv. [Pg.287]

Complex regional pain syndrome may occur after ACL reconstruction, albeit rarely, with an incidence of 4-7 % [30, 31]. In these cases, various symptoms manifest after surgery, including disproportionate continuing pain, sensory abnormality, edema, and articular contracture. Plain radiography may show a picture of local osteoporosis. On three-phase bone scintigraphy (Tc-99), uptake is often observed. After onset, remission may take several years. [Pg.512]

Bone scintigraphy involves venepuncture, a time delay following injection of the isotope and a significant subsequent period immobilised on the scanner. Topical local anaesthetic should be used prior to venepuncture. Play therapy should be utilised as the use of play specialists has been shown to reduce the need for general anaesthesia (Department of Health 2003). [Pg.79]

Bone scintigraphy will show an area of increased uptake around the postero-medial aspect of the tibia within a few days of the onset of symptoms. Whilst being sensitive, it will not rule out other differential diagnoses including infection and bone tumour and involves a relatively high radiation dose. [Pg.139]
