Abstract

Scintimetric Characterization of the distribution of the radiotracer Tc-99m MDP in the skeletal tissues such as Spines for the early detection of metastatic spread in the cases of Prostatic Carcinoma has been carried out. Temporal Scintimetry measures the counts in the region of interest in the scans done at two time intervals 4 and 24 h. A 4/24 h, Dr. V. Siva’s retention ratio derived using Temporal Scintimetry in the characterization of skeletal hotspots in benign and malignant skeletal conditions is proposed and discussed.
