  • Title: Soft tissue uptake on 99mTc methylene diphosphonate bone scan imaging: pictorial review.
    Author: Kaye J, Hayward M.
    Journal: Australas Radiol; 2002 Mar; 46(1):13-21. PubMed ID: 11966582.
    Abstract:
    99mTechnetium methylene diphosphonate (MDP) bone isotope may accumulate in many extra-osseous sites due to a variety of both benign and malignant conditions. This finding on a bone scan can be crucial to the diagnosis and may not be apparent in other imaging or the clinical evaluation of the patient. We present a pictorial review sampling some of the many causes of extra-osseous 99mTc MDP accumulation.
