Abstract

In gamma camera imaging, obtaining accurate clinical information for the diagnosis of oncological patients is extremely important. Obtaining accurate clinical information depends on the quality of images, the routine quality control and patient movement. Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial tumor of childhood. In neuroblastoma, metastases can be seen especially in the metaphysis of long bones, and for the detection of these metastases, asymmetry observed in the growth plates is important. In this case report, asymmetric images obtained during whole body bone scintigraphy scanning due to the movement of patient and spot images obtained while the patient is motionless are introduced and the effect of patient motion on image quality is discussed.

Özet

Gama kamera ile görüntülemede onkolojik hastaların tanısına yönelik doğru klinik bilgilerin elde edilmesi son derece önem taşımaktadır. Doğru klinik bilgilerin elde edilebilmesi, elde edilen görüntülerin kalitesine, rutin kalite kontrollere ve hasta hareketine bağlıdır. Nöroblastom çocukluk çağında en sık izlenen ekstrakranial tümördür. Nöroblastomda özellikle uzun kemiklerin metafizinde kemik metastazı görülebilir ve bu metastazların saptanmasında büyüme plaklarında izlenen asimetri önemlidir. Bu olgu sunumunda tüm vücut kemik sintigrafisi çekimi sırasında hasta hareketine bağlı olarak elde edilen görüntüler ile hastanın hareketsiz durumda iken elde edilen spot görüntüleri takdim edilerek hasta hareketinin görüntü kalitesi üzerine etkisi tartışılmıştır.
