  • Title: Iron dextran: bone imaging patterns of absorption--a case report.
    Author: Eisenberg B, Meholic AJ, Arrington ER, Elliott TM, Wiest PW, Olander RL.
    Journal: Am J Physiol Imaging; 1990; 5(3):116-8. PubMed ID: 2285521.
    Abstract:
    This case illustrates two different patterns of absorption of Iron Dextran in the gluteal soft tissues due to an intramuscular and a more proper Z-track technique. A 65 year old female presented to the nuclear medicine service for a bone scan to rule out metastatic disease from a surgically resected colon cancer. While the first bone scan showed no evidence of metastases, an abnormal accumulation of Technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate was noted in the left gluteal soft tissue region.
