    This study presents an improved scintillation camera method for accurately measuring bone mineral changes in the calcaneus. The technique offers high reproducibility, enhancing its clinical application and accessibility for bone density assessments.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Bone Densitometry
    • Nuclear Medicine

    Background:

    • Photon absorptiometry is a standard method for assessing bone mineral changes.
    • Serial studies require accurate and reproducible measurements of bone volume and mineral content.

    Observation:

    • An extended scintillation camera method was developed for calcaneus bone mineral quantitation.
    • This technique utilizes a 40-mCi Americium-241 (241Am) source.
    • The method is designed for application to larger bone regions, reducing repositioning errors.

    Findings:

    • Achieved 2.1% reproducibility in bone phantoms.
    • Demonstrated 2.4% reproducibility in normal patients.
    • Case studies highlight the method's sensitivity and clinical utility.
