Radionuclide Imaging of Osteomyelitis [PDF]

open access: possibleSeminars in Nuclear Medicine, 2015
Radionuclide procedures frequently are performed as part of the diagnostic workup of osteomyelitis. Bone scintigraphy accurately diagnoses osteomyelitis in bones not affected by underlying conditions. Degenerative joint disease, fracture, and orthopedic hardware decrease the specificity of the bone scan, making it less useful in these situations ...

Quantification of the radionuclide image [PDF]

open access: possibleSeminars in Nuclear Medicine, 1973
The clinical value of radionuclide images can be increased by using quantification. The earliest radionuclide images were digital or quantitative in nature, but they were soon replaced by analog photoscans. Now, with the introduction of computers, quantitative digital scanning is again becoming widely used.

Radionuclide Imaging in Urology

Urologic Clinics of North America, 2006
Radiopharmaceutic tracers are used commonly to diagnose and monitor benign and malignant conditions of the genitourinary system. Most often, these tracers assess renal function and obstruction in "normal" and transplanted renal units. More recently, especially with the advent of positron emission tomography (PET)/CT, the role of nuclear pharmaceutics ...

Radionuclide imaging

European Heart Journal, 1984
Recent advances in nuclear cardiology have included the application of radionuclide imaging techniques to the detection of coronary artery disease. Exercise Thallium-201 myocardial imaging has proved a sensitive and specific test for the detection of significant coronary artery disease and allows differentiation between myocardial ischaemia and ...

Radionuclide imaging in osteomyelitis

Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 1988
The utility of bone imaging has remained significantly high despite the proven suboptimal specificity of the conventional three-phase bone scan. The quantitative four-phase study may play a role in maintaining its usefulness in the future. However, due to its extremely high sensitivity and excellent anatomical information, it remains as the first ...

Radionuclide imaging of the heart

Hospital Medicine, 1999
Nuclear cardiology is an established part of diagnosis and assessment of patients with possible heart disease, the two most common tests being myocardial perfusion imaging and radionuclide ventriculography. Myocardial perfusion imaging comprises approximately 75% of nuclear cardiology studies in the UK, and is used in diagnosis and management of ...

Radionuclide joint imaging

Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 1976
Modern radionuclide techniques of joint imaging involve the use of either 99mTc-pertechnetate or 99mTc-phosphate compounds in conjunction with the Anger camera. In general, images obtained with both types of radiocompound are nonspecific--although increased uptake of 99mTc-pertechnetate usually denotes the presence of synovitis.
