Description

A comparative study on sup(99m)-Tc-phosphate compounds (TcPP) in detecting tumor metastasis to bone and problems accompanying it are reported. TcPP revealed metastatic foci which are unrecognized by conventional bone survey. To recognize these foci, exclusion of the following problems is necessary: Accumulation at front of neck, asymmetrical image of joint, increased bone density of the aged, Tc-photon absorption and radiotherapy effect. The mechanism of TcPP accumulation is discussed. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

In einer vergleichenden Studie wird ueber den Wert von sup(99m)Tc-Phosphat-Verbindungen (TcPP) fuer die Erkennung von Knochenmetastasen und ueber damit zusammenhaengende Probleme berichtet. TcPP fuehrt zur Entdeckung von Metastasen, die bei der konventionellen Diagnostik unerkannt bleiben. Um solche Metastasen aufspueren zu koennen, sind folgende Probleme zu beachten: Aktivitaetsanreicherung im Halsbereich bei a.-p.-Scan, asymmetrische Darstellung von Gelenken, zunehmende Knochendichte im Alter, Tc-Photonen Absorption und Effekte einer Strahlentherapie. Der Mechanismus der TcPP-Anreicherung wird diskutiert. (orig.)
