| Popis: | A Tc-99m MDP whole-body bone imaging scan was performed to rule out skeletal abnormalities in view of a highly elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The scan showed multiple areas of increased uptake by the skeleton consistent with Paget's disease, which could explain the high level of ALP. The scan also demonstrated a large, well-defined area of markedly increased uptake at the right side of the pelvis. The first impression was that it could be a soft-tissue mass concentrating a bone seeking agent. A subsequent CT study revealed that this mass was the urinary bladder pushed to the right by the rectosigmoid colon, markedly dilated by stool. |
