β¦ Synopsis
Four color processed whole body bone scintigraphy with 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate was performed in six patients on maintenance hemodialysis, and the results of semiquantitative colorimetric analysis were compared with those of a normal group. The difference between the two (control and patient group) was statistically significant (P less than 0.01). Furthermore, the effect of 1 alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 treatment on renal osteodystrophy was evaluated by this method. The results indicated that this method provides a useful method for assessing the response of renal osteodystrophy to treatment. Two representative cases of renal osteodystrophy are presented to illustrate the usefulness of this approach to semiquantitative whole body bone scanning.
