Bone scanning in pregnant patients with breast carcinoma
Journal Article
·
· Clin. Nucl. Med.; (United States)
Radionuclide scanning is usually contraindicated in pregnancy because of the danger of fetal radiation exposure. Radionuclide bone scanning with Tc-99m MDP is a sensitive indicator of early osseous metastases in breast cancer. Three cases of breast cancer during pregnancy are reported; modified bone scanning was utilized for staging and decision analysis. Modifications of bone scanning techniques to minimize fetal radiation exposure and fetal dosimetry calculations are described.
