Uptake of 99mTc-MDP by pseudomyxoma peritonei: a case report. 1983

S S Tu'meh, and J F Polak, and W D Kaplan

A patient with pseudomyxoma peritonei secondary to a mucin-secreting adenocarcinoma demonstrated striking, diffuse uptake of 99mTc-MDP throughout the abdomen. The radiopharmaceutical distribution accurately delineated the region of tumor involvement within the peritoneal cavity.

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.
