Description

Consideration is given to the study of bone diseases. The most used radionuclides in the skeletal investigation are analysed and a table of radiopharmaceuticals of localization in the skeleton is showed. Emphasis is given to the use of Strontium 85 and 87m, fluorine 18 and technetium 99m. The phosphate compounds labelled with Technetium 99m are studied in detail and the structures of these organic and inorganic compounds are given. A table with values of the blood clearance of those compounds is presented. The skeletal distribution of the phosphate compounds-sup(99m)Tc, as well as the abnormal scintigraphy of skeleton by means of them, are analysed. Referring to bone diseases, the benign and malignant ones are studied: a table is given of bone diseases with positive imaging to the skeleton scintigraphy in the former case and the main applications of this scintigraphy in the latter one. Emphasis is given, in all the cases, to the clinical applications of the method, with recommendations in each one. Scintigraphic imagings are presented referring to each item studied

Abstract (Portuguese)

Dao-se as bases do estudo, passando-se a analise dos radionuclideos mais utilizados na visualizaca do esqueleto, apresentando-se quadros de radiofarmacos que se localizam no esqueleto. Comentam-se com especial relevo, o emprego do Estroncio 85 e 87m, o Fluor 18 e o Tecnecio 99m. Faz-se um estudo detalhado dos compostos de fosfatos marcados pelo Tecnecio 99m, relacionando-se as estruturas desses compostos organicos e inorganicos, apresentando-se quadro de clarificacao sanguinea dos compostos de fosfato marcados com o Tecnecio 99m. Estuda-se tanto a distribuicao esqueletica normal dos compostos de fosfato-sup(99m)Tc, como a cintigrafia anormal do esqueleto por seu intermedio. Com referencia as doencas osseas, estudam-se as benignas e as malignas, relacionando-se no primeiro caso, as patologias osseas benignas com imagem positiva a cintigrafia do esqueleto e as principais indicacoes para a cintigrafia do esqueleto, no segundo caso. Em todo o estudo da-se maior enfase as aplicacoes clinicas do metodo, com recomendacoes nos diversos casos. Encontram-se ilustracoes de imagens cintigraficas em todos os pontos estudados
