Diffuse thoracoabdominal radioactivity seen in bone imaging.

Abstract:

:Diffusely increased radioactivity in the thoracoabdominal region (lower thorax and/or upper abdomen) occasionally has been observed when performing Tc-99m phosphonate bone studies. To assess the significance of activity in this finding, 1100 bone scintigrams were reviewed and the clinical data and other diagnostic imaging procedures were evaluated in these cases. With the exclusion of Tc-99m sulfur colloid liver-spleen scans 18 patients were found to have mild but diffuse increased radioactivity in the thoracoabdominal region either on the right or left. Clinical findings in these cases with abnormal uptakes were pleural effusions (six cases), hepatic colonic metastases (six cases), splenic metastases from bronchogenic carcinoma (one case), abdominal and peritoneal colonic metastases (one case), a massive metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (from lung) in the right lower chest (one case), and defective radiopharmaceuticals (three cases). Since the defective radiopharmaceuticals contained 5% of hydrolyzed reduced Tc-99m colloid by thin-layer chromatography, each of three patients received approximately 740 mu Ci of Tc-99m sulfur colloid. Factors to be considered in the interpretation of diffuse thoraco-abdominal activity from a bone agent should include splenic or hepatic metastases, a Tc-99m sulfur colloid splenic or hepatic metastases, a Tc-99m sulfur colloid study within the previous 24 hours, pleural effusion, faulty radiopharmaceuticals, and abdominal and peritoneal colonic metastases.
