Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Medical Instrumentation

Background:

  • Accurate localization of bone lesions during surgery is critical for effective treatment.
  • Intraoperative imaging techniques can improve surgical outcomes by providing real-time feedback.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and evaluate a sterilizable radiation probe for intraoperative bone scintigraphy.
  • To assess the efficacy of this probe in locating lesions at orthopaedic surgical sites.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a small-dimension, sterilizable radiation probe with a 2 mm collimated opening.
  • Connection of the probe to a portable radioactivity counter generating an acoustic signal proportional to disintegration rate.
  • Utilisation of dimethylaminodiphosphonate (SF44) as an osteotropic radiopharmaceutical.

  • Application in 47 orthopaedic interventions.

    • Main Results:

    • The probe and acoustic signal system enabled surgeons to readily monitor radioactivity without distraction.
    • Intraoperative bone scintigraphy facilitated rapid lesion location and objective termination of operations.
    • The procedure led to reduced excision area dimensions and simplified surgical techniques in some cases.
    • The radiopharmaceutical SF44 improved the pathological: normal bone uptake ratio by 25% compared to standard diphosphonates.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed radiation probe is effective for intraoperative bone scintigraphy in orthopaedic surgery.
    • This technique enhances lesion localization, surgical precision, and potentially reduces invasiveness.
    • Proper training and caution are necessary for the successful implementation of intraoperative bone scintigraphy.
