  2. Bone scintigraphy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_scintigraphy

    A bone scan or bone scintigraphy / s ɪ n ˈ t ɪ ɡ r ə f i / is a nuclear medicine imaging technique used to help diagnose and assess different bone diseases. These include cancer of the bone or metastasis, location of bone inflammation and fractures (that may not be visible in traditional X-ray images), and bone infection (osteomyelitis). [1]

    It is necessary for most users of the CPT code (principally providers of services) to pay license fees for access to the code. [19] In the past, AMA offered a limited search of the CPT manual for personal, non-commercial use on its web site. [20] CPT codes can be looked up on the AAPC (American Academy of Professional Coders) website. [21]

  4. Skeletal survey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_survey

    A skeletal survey (also called a bone survey [1]) is a series of X-rays of all the bones in the body, or at least the axial skeleton and the large cortical bones. A very common use is the diagnosis of multiple myeloma , where tumour deposits appear as "punched-out" lesions.

  5. Quantitative computed tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative_computed...

    DXA is only able to provide the areal bone mineral density. High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) is better than DXA at detecting bone microarchitecture, modeling whole-bone geometry using 3-dimensional information from scans. This method allows estimation of bone strength and other mechanical properties. [20]

  6. Full-body CT scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-body_CT_scan

    A full-body scan is a scan of the patient's entire body as part of the diagnosis or treatment of illnesses. If computed tomography ( CAT ) scan technology is used, it is known as a full-body CT scan , though many medical imaging technologies can perform full-body scans.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technetium_(99mTc)_sestamibi

    Technetium (99m Tc) sestamibi (commonly sestamibi; USP: technetium Tc 99m sestamibi; trade name Cardiolite) is a pharmaceutical agent used in nuclear medicine imaging.The drug is a coordination complex consisting of the radioisotope technetium-99m bound to six (sesta=6) methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) ligands.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-energy_X-ray...

    Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA, or DEXA [1]) is a means of measuring bone mineral density (BMD) with spectral imaging.Two X-ray beams, with different energy levels, are aimed at the patient's bones.
