Abstract
- Bone scan is one of the most frequently performed studies in nuclear medicine with few adverse reactions for the examination of pathologic conditions of bone. Diffuse liver uptake of Technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (Tc-99m MDP) is a rare occurrence with only a few reports in the literature. Furthermore, there is no report of Tc-99m MDP-induced liver injury. Here we report a case of acute hepatitis with diffusely increased uptake of Tc-99m MDP in a hemodialysis patient.
