Fencing between injection of Tc-99m MDP and imaging resulted in a diffuse increase in radioactivity in the asymptomatic wrist of a right-handed fencer. Repeat study two weeks later showed normal distribution of radiopharmaceutical. At that time, the athlete was fenced into the patient waiting area between injection and scan.
Technetium sulfur colloid imaging is widely regarded as a simple, accurate technique for the evaluation of liver size. Although numerous strategies have been proposed for standardizing measurements, none has considered the possibility of a variation depending on whether the patient is imaged erect or recumbent. We imaged several patients in both positions and observed an apparent increase in the vertical length of the liver from supine to upright. We confirmed this by demonstrating a significant increase in the vertical length of both the right and left lobes in a majority of 55 patients imaged in both positions.

Successful testicular imaging of rat and rabbit testes was achieved utilizing the radiopharmaceutical Thallium-201. These observations indicate the usefulness of Thallium-201 as an agent for testicular imaging and suggest a clinical application in localizing the impalpable testis in humans.
