was changed:
Technetium 99m MDP is a radio isotoperadioisotope used in nuclear medicine especially for bone scans. MDP stands for methylene di-phosphonate. Any disease process which results in extracellular fluid expansion will lead to accumilationaccumulation of this isotope.
Uses
-
sub acutesubacute and chronic bone infections - osteoid osteoma
- painful scoliosis
- soft tissue sarcomas
- heterotopic ossification
- post traumatic hematomas
- musculoskeletal stress
- bone metastases
- tumoral calcinosis
- myositis ossificans
