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.

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.

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.

The degree of elevation does not predict disease severity. CRP concentration rise and fall quicker than ESR, often used to guide treatment Blood Cultures – an important element in management and treatment Blood culture positivity often decides whether a patient will require a bone biopsy. ESR and CRP are sensitive, yet not specific.

Imagine going in for a diagnostic MRI scan and coming out with a progressive, irreversible, and potentially fatal disease. It certainly doesn't help matters that the disease has been linked to gadolinium-based contrast agents, a ubiquitous tool in the MR armamentarium. In 2006 the U.S. Louis hospital.

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.
