confident diagnosis or may help narrow down the differential. This exhibit reviews and …

Background Urinary tract abnormalities are detected as incidental findings in 20% of skeletal
scintigraphic studies. Evaluation of the genitourinary system on routine bone scans is crude …

1013 Learning Objectives 1. To present a spectrum of incidentally detected renal
abnormalities on skeletal Scintigraphy. 2. To illustrate the limitations of skeletal scintigraphy …

A 71-year-old male patient with urothelial carcinoma of the bladder was referred for 99m Tc-
methylene diphosphonate bone scintigraphy to assess for skeletal metastasis. While the …

Normal renal uptake and excretion of radionuclide agents used for bone scintigraphy allow
for gross visualization of the genitourinary system. The kidneys and urinary bladder can …

Because bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals are excreted into the urine by the kidneys,
normal kidneys and bladder are well visualized on skeletal scintigrams leading to incidental …

T HE RADIONUCLIDE BONE scan is an impor-tant diagnostic tool in the evaluation of
patients with a variety of osseous abnormalities. However, localization of bone-seeking …

Urinary tract abnormalities are detected as incidental findings in 15% of skeletal
scintigraphic studies. Several scintigraphic patterns denote these abnormalities. Bilateral …

The authors describe a case of a bone scan in which a large intrapelvic tumor that occupied
the middle and left side of the pelvis displaced the urinary bladder superolaterally to the right …
