A technique for intraoperative bone scintigraphy. A report of 17 cases.

Since 1981, intraoperative bone scanning has been used at Stanford University Hospital to assist in the localization and excision of skeletal lesions in the surgical suite. The utility of bone scans to detect lesions not otherwise "visible" is valuable in guiding the surgeon to the pathological site. In addition, intraoperative scanning can define the exact amount of tissue to be excised, averting excessive surgery near joints or along weight-bearing bones. Seventeen cases are presented.

Pulmonary nuclear medicine.

The major nuclear medicine contribution to the pulmonary imaging literature for the past year was the inaugural report from the Prospective Investigation of Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis study. Investigations focusing on the role of thrombolytic agents for the management of pulmonary thrombosis have advanced to the stage in which different therapeutic regimens are being tested along with new agents that continue to emerge. Ongoing research and clinical trials are evaluating newer radiolabeled aerosols in patients with airways and interstitial lung disease using imaging and clearance measurements. Positron-emission tomography continues to be utilized in a few research centers for tumor localization and characterization.

Case report: diffuse gastrointestinal bleeding.

Diffuse gastrointestinal bleeding in an immunodeficient patient is presented. Two hours after in vivo erythrocyte labeling, abnormal activity was observed in the wall of a distended colon. If this abnormal concentration had been luminal, a focal, surgically treatable lesion could not have been excluded. This pattern of hemorrhagic colonic lesions has been described pathologically, but not scintigraphically, in immune deficient patients.
