Utility of Tc-99m MDP bone SPECT in evaluation of osseous involvement in craniofacial malignancies
2017, Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Hence, Tc-99m MDP SPECT can be a reliable adjunctive means of investigation in patients with malignancies with a tendency to invade the skull base or other possible bone pathologies affecting this area. In the surgical resection of oral cancers, surgeons have to decide very carefully whether to perform a procedure involving partial bone resection that preserves the mandible continuity or to sacrifice the mandible continuity (Fischer-Brandies and Seifert, 1995). In this situation, plain radiographs or CT scans have the disadvantage of giving sometimes false-negative results, since the initial stages of osseous invasion may not have caused sufficient loss of the mineral substance of the bone to be visible on radiography.
