lüll Technical errors in planar bone scanning Naddaf SY; Collier BD; Elgazzar AH; Khalil MMJ Nucl Med Technol 2004[Sep]; 32 (3): 148-53Optimal technique for planar bone scanning improves image quality, which in turn improves diagnostic efficacy. Because planar bone scanning is one of the most frequently performed nuclear medicine examinations, maintaining high standards for this examination is a daily concern for most nuclear medicine departments. Although some problems such as patient motion are frequently encountered, the degraded images produced by many other deviations from optimal technique are rarely seen in clinical practice and therefore may be difficult to recognize. The objectives of this article are to list optimal techniques for 3-phase and whole-body bone scanning, to describe and illustrate a selection of deviations from these optimal techniques for planar bone scanning, and to explain how to minimize or avoid such technical errors.|*Artifacts[MESH]|*Medical Errors[MESH]|Bone and Bones/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Tomography, Emission-Computed/methods/*standards[MESH] |
