Technetium-99m-labeled methylene diphosphonate and hydroxyethylidine diphosphonate--biologic and clinical comparison: concise communication. 1979

T G Rudd, and D R Allen, and F D Smith

The biologic and imaging characteristics of Tc-99m MDP and Tc-99m HEDP were compared in ten patients: Tc-99m MDP exhibited lower blood activity, lower 4-hr urinary excretion, and higher normal bone-to-background ratio. Assessment of overall image quality also favored Tc-99m MDP, indicating that the normal skeleton is better visualized with this agent. The total number of lesions seen (18) was not large enough to allow critical comparison of relative lesion-detecting efficacy. However, discrepancies between the two agents were observed, suggesting additional evaluation of the relative lesion-detecting efficacy of these two bone agents.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D004164 Diphosphonates Organic compounds which contain P-C-P bonds, where P stands for phosphonates or phosphonic acids. These compounds affect calcium metabolism. They inhibit ectopic calcification and slow down bone resorption and bone turnover. Technetium complexes of diphosphonates have been used successfully as bone scanning agents.
