Radionuclide methods in traumatology Musculoskeletal trauma Musculoskeletal trauma Bone scan Trauma to internal organs ( hematoma, laceration, fracture, perforation, leaks) Trauma to internal organs ( hematoma, laceration, fracture, perforation, leaks) Renal scan Myocardial scan Hepatobiliary scan (Liver / spleen scan) - CT preferred (Testicular scan) - US preferred Head trauma Head trauma CT preferred Cerebral perfusion scan - brain death Cisternography - CSF leak

Bone scan in trauma Very sensitive Very sensitive Detects areas of abnormal bone turnover Detects areas of abnormal bone turnover Shows areas that need further radiol.evaluation Shows areas that need further radiol.evaluation Provides objective evidence of disorder when X ray negative Provides objective evidence of disorder when X ray negative

Bone scan Tracers:diphosphonates (Tc-99m MDP, HDP) Tracers:diphosphonates (Tc-99m MDP, HDP) Dose:500-900MBq Dose:500-900MBq Tracer localization (chemisorption onto surface of bone trabeculae) depends on: Tracer localization (chemisorption onto surface of bone trabeculae) depends on: blood flow capillary permeability bone metabolism (activity of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, new bone formation)
