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: There is a white blood cell labeling done in conjunction with a bone scan. That's probably what

the dictator means.
osteonecrosis- pt had "a bone scan significant for area of intense focal [s/l bony labeling]"?
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."

Thanks in advance for any help.

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

I do have CTS but ortho MDs say not to operate for another 10 years (til I'm way up there in age).  I find I have thumb pain (for decades) from hitting the space bar too hard with my thumb.  I had cortisone shots into the thumb for years (one shot lasted 10 years in one thumb and the other shots didn't work at all in the other thumb).


Hope you feel better!
