Diagnosis of Extraosseous Lesions Overlapping the Bones on Bone Scintigraphy
Abstract
Extraosseous MDP uptake was not uncommon on the bone scintigraphy. When the extraosseous activity is overlapping the bones, it might cause difficulty in interpreting the result when only static images were acquired. Here we report 2 cases that abnormal MDP activity overlapping the bones on planar images, which were confirmed as soft tissue lesions by SPECT/CT or CT imaging.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
