99m Technetium-pyrophosphate scintiphotography in bone sarcoidosis. 1976

A J Reginato, and V Schiappaccasse, and L Guzman, and H Claure

Comparative studies between routine roentgenograms and scintiphotographs using 99mTc-pyrophosphate, of the hands and feet are documented in three cases of bone sarcoidosis. All the abnormal roentgenographic findings were also detected by 99mTc-pyrophosphate bone imaging. However, several areas of increased radiopharmaceutical uptake were found in areas with normal roentgenographic studies. These results suggest that the 99mTc-pyrophosphate bone scintiphotographs might be more sensitive than radiographs in the localization of the bone involvement in sarcoidosis.

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.
