dc.description.abstractObjective Nuclear medicine procedures are often performed in close-time proximity to bone densitometry studies. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of 99m99mTc-hexakis-2-methoxyisobutyl isonitrile (MIBI) and 99m99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) on the accuracy of bone mineral density (BMD) measurements performed using dual-energy X-ray density. Methods The effect of a diagnostic dose of 99m 99mTc-MIBI on BMD estimations in the lumbar spine and the left total hip was assessed in 30 patients (19 female, 11 male; mean age: 55.5 ±±10.5 years) by using a Lunar DPX-NT scanner. Thirty patients, admitted to the nuclear medicine department for bone scintigraphy (15 female, 15 male; mean age: 56 ± 15.92 years), were included into the study. Each patient underwent dual-energy X-ray density assessment for which a Lunar DPX-NT scanner was used before and 2 h after intravenous injection of 99m 99mTc-MDP (925MBq) and 99m99mTc-MIBI (1110MBq). BMD measurements were calculated from lumbar spine (including L2-4) and left hip (including femoral neck, trochanter, and total hip). For statistical analysis, the Wilcoxon test was used and a P value of less than 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant. Results According to Wilcoxon's statistical test, we found extremely significant changes on the measured BMD, T-score, before and 2h after the injection of 99m99mTc-MIBI for lumbar spine and left hip in 30 patients. We found statistically significant decrement on measured BMD from lumbar spine and trochanter before and 2 h after the injection of 99m 99mTc-MDP. Although MDP BMD values in femoral neck and total hip were decreased after the injection of Tc-99m, they did not reach a statistically significant value. The comparison of pre-T-score and post-T-score values showed a statistically significant decrease after the injection for only L2-4 lumbar spine (P= 0.002), but left hip of pre-T-score and post-T-score values did not reach a statistically significant value. © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
