Scintigraphic manifestation of iliotibial band injury in an endurance athlete.

The scintigraphic appearance of an overuse injury at the insertion of the iliotibial band is described. This injury was depicted on three-phase bone scintigraphy as focally increased radionuclide concentration in the anterolateral tibial condyle (lateral tibial tubercle) where the iliotibial band inserts. Overuse injuries involving the insertion of the iliotibial band are uncommon and are not to be confused with a stress fracture or other bony lesion involving the lateral tibial condyle.

Adult

Ureteral rupture and bone scintigraphy.

The scintigraphic findings are described of upper ureteral rupture seen incidentally on bone scan in a 30-year-old patient after retrograde pyelography. This case is presented to alert physicians to look for non-osseous abnormalities on the bone scan.

Adult

The radionuclide cerebral angiogram in stroke diagnosis.

The radionuclide cerebral angiogram using intravenous radiopertechnetate has been found to be of value in confirming the early diagnosis of stroke. The isotopic perfusion study is of value in detecting ischemic carotid and middle cerebral lesions. It can also provide a rapid means of demonstrating intracerebral hemorrhages. Nuclear angiography is not recommended for detection of vertebrobasilar artery disease unless a posterior cerebral artery occlusion is suspected.
