[Use of radionuclide quantitative analysis in routine diagnosis of metabolic bone diseases]

Global and regional quantity indexes of metabolic bone activities are determined on the basis of given scintigraphic dose for skeleton examination. The calculation of all analyzed indexes was carried out in all cases of the control group and patients with established disturbance of bone tissue metabolism. When choosing the method used in the routine work, apart from diagnostic value of analysis numerous criteria have been respected. The analyzed global quantity indexes of metabolic bone activity adapted to conditions of routine work have similar diagnostic value, while the best regional index relating bone soft tissue is the one concerned with the upper leg. As the examined quantity indexes enable more reliable interpretation of the scintigraphic findings, in everyday work the scintigraphic examination should be filled in by determination of corrected retention of activity in the whole body and calculation of radiosotope analysis significantly depend one the kidney function and urine elimination.
