    Info on bone density scan.....(sm)
    Subject: Info on bone density scan.....(sm)

    Just 1 reason why Internet availability for MT referencing is an invaluable asset. 
    DEXA is not a valid term.  The ISCD (the society that sets the standards for bone density scanning) termed the official “spelling” to be only
    DXA in 2002. 


    Question on bone scan findings
    Subject: Question on bone scan findings

    The patient had a bone scan demonstrating findings suspicious for osseous metastases.  "There was sclerosis seen involving the left acromion and left ilium.  However, the skull findings [s/l equivocal as of normality?] and plain film appears to correspond to a sclerotic area involving the inner table."  Does that make sense as is?  I haven't heard that before.

    Subject: osteonecrosis- pt had "a bone scan significant for area of intense focal [s/l bony labeling]"?

    The whole sentence reads thusly:

    The patient also underwent bone scan, this being significant for an area of intense [s/l focal bony labeling] involving the lateral epicondyle of the right femur in an individual without history of trauma, and given his history of aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, it was felt that this might be reflective of osteonecrosis including "osteochondritis desiccans."

    Subject: Yes, vague. What tooth shaped bone in the hand would the dicator be referring to? Any bone could

    tooth shaped from injury or what have you.  And like I said 9 times out of 10, odontoid refers to the "toothlike odontoid process in the second cervical vertebra."  That's pretty specific, dontcha think?  I've never heard a doctor refer to an "odontoid" in any other part of the body.
