Visualization of Gallbladder with In-111 Octreotide Scan.

A 54-year-old woman underwent octreotide scintigraphy for evaluation of neuroendocrine tumor recurrence. The images demonstrated unusual uptake in gallbladder area in addition to physiologic uptake at other tissues. Whole-body planar and SPECT imaging were repeated after fatty meal ingestion at 28 hours in order to figure out whether this activity was physiologic or not.

Evaluation of Response to Therapy in a Patient with Lung Cancer: Correlation of Sclerotic Bone Lesions with F 18 FDG PET/CT and Bone Scintigraphy.

Unlabelled: A 64-year-old male patient with small cell lung cancer underwent Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F 18 FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT scan which revealed multiple F 18 FDG uptake in the spine, both humeri, ribs, pelvis and proximal long bones. There was no obvious lytic or sclerotic bone destruction accompanying these lesions on CT component of the study. After the patient received six courses of chemotherapy a repeat F 18 FDG-PET/CT was performed for evaluation of therapy response.

Tc-MDP bone scintigraphy in a case with sporodical tumoral calcinosis.

Tumoral calcinosis is an uncommon and benign condition characterized by the presence of large calcific soft tissue deposits occurring predominantly in a periarticular location. It generally occurs as a complication of renal dialysis or trauma, and is rarely seen in familial and sporadic cases. Bone scintigraphy is a sensitive method for diagnosing tumoral calcinosis.
