Technetium-99m MDP demonstration of heterotopic ossification in fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva. 1986

M A Fang, and J W Reinig, and S C Hill, and J Marini, and M A Zasloff

The extensive heterotopic bone formation in patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) has been documented previously with radiographs. A case in which a Tc-99m MDP bone scan showed increased uptake at sites well before ossification could be documented radiographically is described. This finding suggests that bone scans would likely be useful to monitor the extent of involvement with FOP and to detect areas of new activity.

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.

D013669 Technetium Tc 99m Medronate A gamma-emitting radionuclide imaging agent used primarily in skeletal scintigraphy. Because of its absorption by a variety of tumors, it is useful for the detection of neoplasms.
