  1. 1. Bone turnover markers and prediction of bone loss in elderly women

    Författare :Janaka Lenora; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bone turnover markers; DXA; elderly; osteoporosis; scintigraphy; Bone mineral density; quantitative ultrasound of the calcaneus; bone loss;

    Sammanfattning : Around 70,000 osteoporosis-related fractures occur in Sweden annually and approximately half of the women in western world will sustain a fragility fracture after the age of 50 years. Fracture preventive efforts require the identification of individuals who are at high risk. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Radiography and bone scintigraphy in osteoarthritis of the knee: comparison with MR imaging

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiologi; Klinisk fysiologi; medical instrumentation; tomography; radiology; Clinical physics; MR imaging; bone scintigraphy; osteophyte; joint space width; weight-bearing; radiograms; Knee joint; osteoarthritis; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

    Sammanfattning : The aim was to compare radiography of the tibiofemoral joint (TFJ) and the patellofemoral joint (PFJ), as well as bone scinigraphy with MR imaging in middle-aged individuals with chronic knee pain in the format of a prospective study of knee osteoarthritis. Individuals aged 35-54 years with chronic knee pain were identified. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Influence of extrinsic factors on bone scintigraphy an experimental and clinical study

    Författare :Marika Cronhjort; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Bone scintigraphy; bisphosphonates; biodistribution; animal;

    Sammanfattning : Bone scintigraphy takes advantage of the strong affinity of technetiated diphosphonates to bone. These compounds accumulate particularly at sites of new bone formation which occurs as a response to various conditions affecting bone. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Computer-Assisted Diagnosis for the Interpretation of Bone Scintigraphy. A new approach to improve diagnostic accuracy

    Författare :May Sadik; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Diagnostic accuracy; Radionuclide imaging; Bone metastases; Breast cancer; Prostate cancer;

    Sammanfattning : The most common cancers in the western countries are breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men, and these cancer types, together with lung cancer, often metastasise to the skeleton. Bone scan is used to determine whether metastases are present, and the result of the examination serves as a guide in the choice of treatment strategy. LÄS MER
