Misleading 67Ga uptake and serial bone scintigraphy in osteoid osteoma. 1983

J Blom, and E K Pauwels, and L N Piso, and A H Taminiau

5 consecutive patients with osteoid osteoma were examined with bone scintigraphy and 67Ga scintigraphy. In 2 cases a 'three-phase' bone scintigraphy was performed. Scintigraphic features included obvious 67Ga uptake and diffusely increased accumulation on blood pool images. Thus, osteoid osteoma may possess the same scintigraphic characteristics as osteomyelitis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010017 Osteoma, Osteoid A benign osteoblastic tumor with central vascularized nidus surrounded by normal reactive bone. It occurs especially in second decade of life most commonly in the femoral neck but can occur in any bone and any site within a bone. Osteoid Osteoma,Osteoid Osteomas,Osteomas, Osteoid
D010019 Osteomyelitis INFLAMMATION of the bone as a result of infection. It may be caused by a variety of infectious agents, especially pyogenic (PUS - producing) BACTERIA. Osteomyelitides
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. Gamma Camera Imaging,Radioisotope Scanning,Scanning, Radioisotope,Scintigraphy,Scintiphotography,Imaging, Gamma Camera,Imaging, Radionuclide

D003937 Diagnosis, Differential Determination of which one of two or more diseases or conditions a patient is suffering from by systematically comparing and contrasting results of diagnostic measures. Diagnoses, Differential,Differential Diagnoses,Differential Diagnosis
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. Bisphosphonate,Bisphosphonates
