Use of Bone Scanning and Skeletal Radiography in the Diagnosis of Bone Metastasis [PDF]
The radionuclide bone scan is becoming increasingly useful for evaluating a wide variety of bone and joint disorders. However, the commonest application is still the detection of skeletal metastases in the patient with known or suspected neoplastic ...

Bone scan index rise prior to osteonecrosis of the jaw with bone‐modifying agents in prostate cancer
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the maximum bone scan index in the jaw (BSIJmax) before the development of clinical medication‐related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in patients with prostate cancer. Methods We retrospectively analysed 135 patients with prostate cancer and bone metastases who received bone‐modifying agents (BMAs ...

Rhenium Radioisotopes for Medicine, a Focus on Production and Applications
In recent decades, the use of alpha; pure beta; or beta/gamma emitters in oncology, endocrinology, and interventional cardiology rheumatology, has proved to be an important alternative to the most common therapeutic regimens. Among radionuclides used for

A novel styrenic monomer bearing gem‐bisphosphonate groups is synthesized in a single step. The nitroxide‐mediated (co)polymerization of this monomer proceeds in a well‐controlled manner, yielding bisphosphonate‐functionalized (co)polymers with low dispersity.

Radiation Dose and Risk in the Radiological Investigation of Suspected Non‐Accidental Injury (NAI)
This study is a retrospective analysis of 362 skeletal surveys performed over a 5‐year period for children under 5 years of age for suspected non‐accidental injury. We present effective dose data and the associated risks of radiation exposure for initial and follow‐up examinations.

A striking case of bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis
Bisphosphonates are a group of drugs that are being increasingly recommended for patients with osteoporosis, Paget’s disease of bone, and cancer-related osteolysis. The major long-term complication of this drug is bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis. We
