Conventional Nuclear Imaging

	Bleeding scan with labelled erythrocytes
Bleeding scan with labelled erythrocytes Indications -suspicion of bleeding in the abdomen -search for potential Meckel's diverticulum

	Bone scintigraphy
Bone scintigraphy with 99mTc-DPD Figure: Bone scintigraphy in a patient with prostate cancer Indicationen - stage skelettal metastasis - rheumatologic diseases - localisation of infection and inflammation

	Inflammation scintigraphy
Inflammation scintigraphy with labelled antibodies Indications -localisation of infection, often in the area of prosthesis

	Liver scintigraphy
Liver scintigraphy Indications -determination of functional liver parenchyma prior to a liver operation

Lung scintigraphy

Figure: Lung scintigraphy in a patient with multiple lung emboli

Today often CT is used to diagnose lung embolism. However, in certain patients, e.g. if no contrast medium can be injected, the nuclear medicine lung scan is a viable option. Often the procedure consists of 2 scans
1. Ventilation scan and
2. Perfusion scan

Indications
- Suspicion of lung embolism
- Distribution of lung perfusion before an operation

	Renal scintigraphy
Renal scintigraphy Figure: Renal scintigraphy with MAG3 Indications -Evaluation of all phases of renal function (MAG3) -Evaluation of renal performance in potential kidney donors (DTPA) -Evaluation of functional kidney parenchma in children (DMSA)

	Sentinel lymph node scintigraphy
Sentinel lymph node scintigraphy Indications -localisation of the sentinel node in various tumors

	Tumor scintigraphy with MIBG
Tumor scintigraphy with MIBG Indications -Staging of neuroblastoma -search for pheochromocytoma
