Concurrent metabolic and osseous metastatic disease on a Tc99m-MDP bone scan

Authors: Erik Mittra, George Segall

Published in: European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging | Issue 12/2007

Excerpt

Because of its nonspecific binding, Tc99m-MDP can be used to evaluate both metabolic and metastatic disease in bone. While the typical heterogeneous appearance of metastases is distinct from the homogenous uptake in metabolic bone disease [1], the appearance of confluent metastatic disease (a superscan) can be quite similar [2]. …
