Abstract:
Prostate cancer was newly diagnosed in a 73-year-old man. He underwent bone scintigraphy to assess any skeletal involvement. No abnormal uptake was observed in the skeletal system, whereas intense radioactivity was seen in the bilateral axillary regions. Physical examination found large amounts of sweat. Repeat images revealed no axillary activity after washing. This case illustrated axillary accumulation of 99m Tc-MDP due to perspiration.

Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and put on clean gloves to maintain infection control and prevent cross-contamination.
Step 2: Prepare the patient by explaining the procedure to ensure understanding and cooperation. Ensure privacy, expose the axilla, and inform the patient that minimal movement is crucial for an accurate reading.
Step 3: Adjust the patient’s clothing to expose only the axilla. It minimizes...
