Four rabbits received human derived HA to their left tibias. After 16 weeks bioglass was implanted to their right tibias. After other 16 weeks bone scintigraphies were taken with 99mTc- MDP. Three phase bone scan images showed no evidence of inflammation and superior vascularization rates at implantation sites. In this study, bioglass demonstrated higher uptake of 99mTc-MDP comparing to HA, suggesting a higher vascularization rate and better osseointegration.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) implants were used as grafting materials to fill some of the root resections in three patients. Two of the patients had previous root resections without implant insertion. Being implanted to the resection sites, the porous structure of HA serves as a framework for vascular and soft tissue ingrowth. Previous reports on the utilization of three phase nuclear bone scintigraphy (NBS) to evaluate the degree of fibrovascular ingrowth into HA dental implants after surgery are scarce. Three cases are described in which bone scintigraphy was performed at 6 months after implant insertion. The images revealed technetium-99m methylenediphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) uptake at dental implant sites consistent with vascularization and osteoconduction. The current results strongly indicate that osseointegration is complete. This study demonstrates that NBS is a valuable test in the follow up of osseointegration rate at implantation sites and HA is found to be a good biomaterial for grafting purposes showing high osseointegration rates.

We present an unusual case of a biopsy-provenMycobacterium chelonaeinfection (MCI) of skin and soft tissue, which led to osteomyelitis in a 55-year-old Caucasian male. We provide clinical data and discussion about MCI and its diagnostic workup and demonstrate comprehensive imaging findings, including clinical pictures, radiographs, three-phase bone scintigraphy, and combined SPECT/CT findings of this entity, which have not yet been presented in the medical literature.

The radionuclide gallium-67 (67Ga) localizes preferentially but not specifically in many human and experimental soft-tissue tumors. Because of this localization, 67Ga is used in clinical trials to detect humar. cancers by external scintiscanning methods. However, the fact that 67Ga does not localize specifically in tumors requires for its eventual clinical usefulness a fuller understanding of the mechanisms that control its deposition in both malignant and normal cells. We have previously reported that 67Ga localizes in lysosomal-like bodies, notably, although not exclusively, in macrophages of the spocytaneous AKR thymoma. Further studies on the uptake of 67Ga by macrophages are needed to determine whether there are factors related to malignancy that might alter the localization of 67Ga in these cells and thus provide clues to discovering the mechanism of 67Ga localization in tumor tissue.
