#BoneScan

[shreevi-clinic]

Wondering whether you need an X-ray or an MRI? X-rays are great for viewing bones, while MRIs reveal soft tissues like the brain, muscles, and internal organs. Each has its unique role in accurate diagnosis. Consult our expert doctors today!

Today's case is a 25 year-old man with leg pain and selling. Radiograph reveals a lucent tibial lesion with groundglass appearance, thinning of the adjacent cortical bone, and no periosteal reaction. These features favor a benign entity. Tc-99-MDP bone scan reveals intense uptake and no other lesions. Findings are most compatible with monostotic fibrous dysplasia.

Tune Into the Teenage Years

Turn up the radioand find the musicof my high school gymnasiums.Crepe paper streamersdangle from the rearview mirrorand I watch stomping feetslam the edges of the mirror.The dimly lit highwayreminds me of the floorand I spy swaying couplesin the lamplights.I turn up the volumeso my bonescan feel the pulse of my youth.The stumbling handsbang through my blood,and I press the acceleratorto chase…

I need to start investigating my weird chronic ankle/leg pain.

Standing for anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes without much movement causes pain in my ankles, knees, and hips. But the pain escalates rather quickly from there and can get pretty bad.

Walking and running reduce the time/likelihood this happens. I can walk for about an hour if i don’t stop at all.

This came to a head over my vacation, where i would be limping constantly and on the ground in pain, while my two sisters were fine. We did the same amount of walking/standing, yet i had a pronounced limp and was in PAIN (on a scale of 1-10, probably a 7 or 8.) the soreness in my ankles lasted for days.

This happens all the time. It has always been a thing with me. There is no start date to when its been a problem.

Supportive Insoles do not help much. I do not wear flat shoes.

I saw a podiatrist at 22. They ran a bonescan and a live xray of my ankles. My bones were perfectly fine (????) and i was only a *little* flat footed

Y’know, i was given corrective boots/braces when i was an infant and sometimes i wonder if they actually fucked me up.

I also now have really bad chronic neck pain but thats just shit posture.

Well this week started with some positive news!! Bone scan results are back, and No bone cancer has been detected!!! To say im absalutely buzzing is a understatement!!! 🥳🎉 Who would of thought snapping a leg would cause so much worry and drama 😂 Today is a good day! 💯💞 #todayisagoodday #cancerfree #wheelchairlife #papagirl #smile #keepgoing #keepsmiling #keeppositive #buzzing #mondayvibes #bonescan #results https://www.instagram.com/p/CMKgXzMJPXr/?igshid=fgbcb57e0br0

It’s super awkward wearing a mask with my glasses, but completely necessary. At the localish hospital today for a CT and bone scan. And I keep saying hello to people with facial expressions 🤣🤦‍♀️

The PET CT scan are done at the same time with the same machine. These combined scans gives us more detailed pictures of areas inside the body than either scan gives by itself. contact us now for PET CT scan in Rohtak.

Stress fractures take place when the bones have small cracks in them due to various reasons such as strenuous physical activity or repeated stress on similar bones.

It interferes with one’s ability to move and causes excessive pain. However, there are cases where they heal naturally over time when a person rests and avoids stressful physical activities. It is best to go to a specialist for treatment as soon as possible.

The main reason for a stress fracture is the excessive stress on the bones of the lower leg over a certain period of time. The below areas are most susceptible to stress fracture:

Fibula – calf bone

Tibia – Also known as the shinbone or leg bone

Metatarsals – Foot bones

Navicular – also called tarsal bones. This is also afoot bone but shooter than Metatarsal.

Swipe! A broken bone can heal with or without the supervision of a doctor, with or without manipulation, immobilization, or surgery. But having it seen by a professional is a key step in having less pain, getting good outcomes and being productive once more. For this patient, pain got worse after surgery, routine medications weren’t helping, and motivation was poor to do physical therapy. (A) The bone scan was performed to confirm clinically evident complex regional pain syndrome, Sudeck atrophy. There is increased uptake on all three phases with diffuse activity around the knee and ankle. (B) AP and lateral radiographs show an AO 42B3c fragmentary wedge fracture to distal tibia diaphysis and 4F2Ba multifragmentary fracture of the proximal fibular diaphysis. (C) Closed reduction internal fixation with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis was done. (D) Postop one year with good remodeling. (E) Postop five years with radiologic union. (F) Bone scan at seven years postop shows decreased uptake compared to baseline. Clinically, the patient has improved to work again. We should strive for patient comfort first and foremost. Good x-rays do not necessarily mean happy patients. A nail would have made another excellent option. #orthopaedics #footandankle #CRIF #MIPO #tibia #patientnowhappy #chronicpain #aotrauma #pieytobillo #physicaltherapy #bacolodfootdoctor #firstloveistrauma #pedestrian #radiology #fracture #trauma #roadtrafficaccident #couldbeworse #vehicularcollision #empathy #bonescan

Patients with FD can undergo MDP bone scan to assess for polyostotic involvement. Polyostotic FD typically involves "long lesions in long bones." Patients should be evaluated for endocrine abnormalities, particularly pediatric patients (we will cover this in more detail tomorrow).

Today's case is a 30 year-old woman with longstanding leg deformity and new leg pain. Radiograph reveals multiple lucent lesions with cortical thinning and no periosteal reaction. Findings are suggestive of FD. At bone scan, there is uptake in the left pelvis, femur and tibia, compatible with polyostotic FD.

3 types of calcification in bone scan: . 1) Metastatic calcification refers to calcium (Ca2+) deposition in normal tissues. . 2) Metabolic calcification refers to mechanisms lead to formation of bone. . 3) Dystrophic Calcification occurs in patients with normal Ca2+ and PO4 levels and refers to Ca2+ deposition in tissues secondary to histologic disruption caused by trauma, ischemia, or cellular necrosis or in the enzymatic necrosis of fat. . #nuclearmedicine #medicine #bonescan #cancer #tc99m #mdp #calcification #calcium #ca #oncology

It’s that time for followup scans to make sure #cancer stays away and to see why my #bonepain has flared up over last few weeks- #home bound bc painful and hurts to walk Had issue with my port in my chest but thank god for the awesome nurses Mrs Elle & Frank B @hoaghealth in Irvine for your work #ctscan and #bonescan Don’t be afraid to speak up with your #doctor re an issue or question, they are not mind readers ... #staystrong #cancerthriver @gofundme (at Hoag Health Center Irvine - Sand Canyon 16405) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7oN5Q9pbjC/?igshid=6ynzi2logvjn

I had a bone scan w/ contrast & arthritis xrays today. One step closer to finding answers/treatment plan, hopefully! For those that want to know what a bone scan is like, my bf took pics & video while I was in it. #bonescan #inflammation #chronicpain #chronicillness #spoonie #spoonies #spinabifida #disability #disabledlife #actuallydisabled #disabled #disabilities #adventisthealth #xrays #nuclearmedicine #imaging #contrast #radioactive #radiation #autoimmunedisease #arthritis #osteoarthritis #autoimmune #rheumatology (at Adventist Medical Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Qwm-FpCtM/?igshid=15ze6luyan14q

Nothing like using the stainless steel toilet, after having a nuclear bone scan. ☢️ ~ Madame President :::::::::::::::::::: A bone scan is a nuclear imaging procedure. In nuclear imaging, tiny amounts of radioactive materials (tracers) are injected into a vein and taken up in varying amounts at different sites in the body. Areas of the body where cells and tissues are repairing themselves most actively take up the largest amounts of tracer. Nuclear images highlight these areas, suggesting the presence of abnormalities associated with disease or injury. A bone scan procedure includes both an injection and the actual scan.
