Tc-99m-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) whole body scintigraphy is the method of choice for detection of metastatic bone diseases. It is primarily used to help diagnose various bone-related conditions such as primary or metastatic cancer of the bone, location of bone inflammation, and fractures that may not be visible on traditional X-ray images, as well as detection of bone damage due to infections and other conditions. In addition, bone scanning is often used for the follow-up or evaluation of response to treatment in some malignancies like prostate and breast cancers. Pathologies of other systems can also be incidentally detected on whole body bone scan. Herein we present an interesting image of an active thyroid nodule that showed Tc-99m MDP uptake in a prostate cancer patient.
锝-99m-亚甲基二膦酸盐（MDP）全身骨闪烁扫描是检测转移性骨疾病的首选方法。它主要用于辅助诊断各种与骨相关的病症，如原发性或转移性骨癌、骨炎症的位置以及传统X线图像上可能看不到的骨折，还有检测因感染和其他病症导致的骨损伤。此外，骨扫描常用于某些恶性肿瘤（如前列腺癌和乳腺癌）治疗反应的随访或评估。全身骨扫描还可能偶然检测到其他系统的病变。在此，我们展示了一名前列腺癌患者的有趣图像，其活跃的甲状腺结节摄取了锝-99m MDP。
