Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this was to visualize non-osseous uptakes of bone scanning agent.

Methods : Amongst 51 patients (Male 21, Female 30) of age range 8-80 years having three phase bone scans at NMC, Rangpur during January 2002, we looked for non-osseous uptakes. All of these patients were encouraged to drink enough water prior to bone scans.

Results : Twenty four patients had non-osseous uptakes of 99 metastable technetium methylenediphosphonate (99m Tc MDP). Renal, pulmonary and mammary uptakes of this series are not always due to malignant process, however, one patient had cisplatin nephrotoxicity.

Conclusion : Non-osseous uptake of bone-seeking radiopharmaceutical is quite common (24/51 i.e. about 48% in this series), however, most of these may be nonmalignant. (Abstract Presented in 7th National Conference of Society of Nuclear Medicine, Bangladesh on 9 March, 2002).
