  • Title: Nuclear medicine imaging of systemic mastocytosis.
    Author: Arrington ER, Eisenberg B, Hartshorne MF, Vela S, Dorin RI.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1989 Dec; 30(12):2046-8. PubMed ID: 2585108.
    Abstract:
    A 66-yr-old male with systemic mastocytosis is presented along with classic imaging findings of dense bone on radiographs, intense uptake on bone scan and marrow expansion on bone marrow scan. Dual photon absorptiometry (DPA) measurements of the skeleton revealed a very high bone mineral measurement of 1.678 grams per square centimeter (lumbar vertebrae 2 through 4). It is suggested that DPA may be useful to follow the development of mast cell disease in the bones.
