Subject: Question on bone scan findings
The patient had a bone scan demonstrating findings suspicious for osseous metastases. "There was sclerosis seen involving the left acromion and left ilium. However, the skull findings [s/l equivocal as of normality?] and plain film appears to correspond to a sclerotic area involving the inner table." Does that make sense as is? I haven't heard that before.

If a patient has had spine surgery, the MRI is more than likely done with contrast. The contrast causes the MRI to "signal" when the contrast is bright in any area. That's what it means.

Just 1 reason why Internet availability for MT referencing is an invaluable asset.
DEXA is not a valid term. The ISCD (the society that sets the standards for bone density scanning) termed the official “spelling” to be only DXA in 2002.
bone densitometry is also known as DEXA scan..

osteonecrosis- pt had "a bone scan significant for area of intense focal [s/l bony labeling]"?
Subject: osteonecrosis- pt had "a bone scan significant for area of intense focal [s/l bony labeling]"?
The whole sentence reads thusly:
The patient also underwent bone scan, this being significant for an area of intense [s/l focal bony labeling] involving the lateral epicondyle of the right femur in an individual without history of trauma, and given his history of aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, it was felt that this might be reflective of osteonecrosis including "osteochondritis desiccans."
Thanks in advance for any help.

tooth shaped from injury or what have you. And like I said 9 times out of 10, odontoid refers to the "toothlike odontoid process in the second cervical vertebra." That's pretty specific, dontcha think? I've never heard a doctor refer to an "odontoid" in any other part of the body.

If I am looking for a catheter, instrument, etc., if the little "R" registered trademark is used, usually it is correct, because they don't go to the trouble to put the trademark if they aren't being reasonable conscientious about spelling it right.
HOWEVER....sometimes I get multiple results with the "R" and they're different. In that case, I try to find the site for the company that manufactures the item. It is usually listed on the first page of Google results.
A lot of the more well-known drugs have their own sites - like www.coumadin.com.
