Osseous and extraosseous uptake of fluorine-18 and technetium-99m polyphosphate in children with neuroblastoma

Journal Article · · Radiology, v. 111, no. 1, pp. 127-133
OSTI ID:4324167

Fourteen bone scans were performed in 7 patients with neuroblastoma using /sup 18/F and /sup 99m/Tc-PP. Four patients had extraosseous uptake of / sup 18/F, 2 in regions radiographically calcific, and 2 in noncalcified sites. Two of these patients showed no extraosseous uptake by /sup 99m/Tc-PP. In a third, extraosseous uptake of /sup 99m/Tc-PP was seen in multiple calcific locations. /sup 18/F, /sup 99m/Tc-PP, radiographs, and bone marrow biopsies all vary in the ability to detect bony metastases. This should be kept in mind when interpreting bone scans obtained with the newer agents. (auth)
