Improved radionuclide bone imaging agent injection needle withdrawal method can improve image quality

Abstract

Objective To investigate the improvement of radionuclide bone imaging agent injection needle withdrawal method on whole body bone scan image quality.Methods Elbow vein injection syringe needle directly into the bone imaging agent in the routine group of 117 cases,with a cotton swab needle injection method for the rapid pull out the needle puncture point pressing,pressing moment.Improvement of117 cases of needle injection method to put two needles into the skin swabs and blood vessels,pull out the needle while pressing two or more entry point 5min.After 2 hours underwent whole body bone SPECT imaging plane.Results The conventional group at the injection site imaging agents uptake rate was16.24%,improved group was 2.56%.Conclusion The modified bone imaging agent injection needle withdrawal method,injection-site imaging agent uptake were significantly decreased whole body bone imaging can improve image quality. Key words: radioactive tracer; improved needle injection method; the image quality
