  • Title: Evaluation in femoral neck fracture scintimetry: modes of region of interest selection and influence on results.
    Author: Holmberg S, Mesko L, Strömqvist B, Thorngren KG.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1985 Apr; 26(4):353-6. PubMed ID: 3156975.
    Abstract:
    Different sized ROIs within the femoral head and different modes of calculation were used in [99mTc]MDP scintimetry after femoral neck fracture. In preoperative scintimetry, correction for increased trochanteric uptake gave the best discrimination, whereas in postoperative scintimetry the direct ratio fractured/intact femoral head was superior. The change in ROI size had little influence.
