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.

The diagnosis and management of intermediate-risk and high-risk prostate cancer are increasingly informed by advances in diagnostic imaging, the authors noted. Radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians analyzed the images, with their reads ultimately compared to laboratory results from biopsies.

Our Women's Center performs both screening and diagnostic mammograms. Ultrasound is a simple, safe, painless diagnostic procedure that bounces high-frequency sound waves off parts of the body and captures the returning “echoes” as images. There is no injection or radiation exposure associated with ultrasound.

A doctor will often use a diagnostic imaging test to check patients for signs of cancer. Here is a breakdown of how these methods of diagnostic imaging are used to detect and treat cancer: X-Ray X-Rays use electromagnetic waves to generate images of the inside of the body. Cancer screenings aim to detect cancer before symptoms appear.

The scan uses a very low dose of radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body, particularly around the hips and lower spine, to measure bone mass and strength. A certified radiologic technologist will prepare your images for the radiologist, who will then interpret your results and prepare a report.

Imagine going in for a diagnostic MRI scan and coming out with a progressive, irreversible, and potentially fatal disease. You know the next few suits will involve the hospital and the radiologists. Some lawyers know more about NSF now than radiologists do, which doesn't help the situation." Giles, U.K.
