Bone Scan and Diagnose - Diagnostic Imaging Brief

Bone scans may be viable for diagnosing calciphylaxis

OCTOBER 25, 2023

Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) methyl diphosphonate (MDP) bone scans are a potentially viable noninvasive option for diagnosing calciphylaxis, according to a team at the University of Massachusetts in Worcester, MA. The team assessed the potential diagnostic utility of bone scans in calciphylaxis based on a review of the literature.

How Is Medical Imaging Used to Diagnose Broken Bones?

While broken bones are common injuries experienced across all ages, older individuals are at higher risk. Bones become more fragile and porous with age, so less force is needed to break their structure. Medical imaging is used to help diagnose these injuries, so doctors can propose appropriate treatment plans.

Prostate cancer persists as the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in men beyond skin cancer. In this new editorial, researchers Richard L.J. Qiu, Chih-Wei Chang, and Xiaofeng Yang from Emory University discuss prostate cancer. To design the salvage radiation therapy, imaging is required to detect and locate the recurrence disease regime.”

As I was on the phone with a colleague trying to convince the referrer of why I think a patient has Paget’s disease instead of metastases, I described the cortical thickening of the iliopectineal line and the lack of activity on the bone scan at the site and elsewhere throughout the body.

Nuclear medicine is a form of specialty medicine that uses radioactive tracers to evaluate bodily functions and to diagnose and treat a wide range of health conditions. Nuclear scans produce images of the body’s anatomy that cannot be obtained as clearly or fully with other imaging techniques.

Benefits Of Getting A Bone Density Test

Independent Imaging

MARCH 6, 2020

A bone density test is a non-invasive procedure to measure the strength of your bones. It is an effective way to diagnose bone-related health problems, such as osteoporosis, and to assess the risk of developing them. Results of the procedure are usually conveyed to your physician within 24 to 48 hours.
