METHOD FOR DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTICS OF INSPECIFIC INFLAMMATORY PROCESSES OF MOTOR SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with radionuclide diagnostics of any inspecific inflammatory processes of motor system. Moreover, it deals with intravenous injecting ¹⁹⁹Tl-chloride followed by planar scintigraphy and visual detection for the area of its increased accumulation. Moreover, ¹⁹⁹Tl-chloride should be injected in the dosage of 5.0 mCi, planar scintigraphy should be performed polypositionally and according to maximal value ER obtained 20 min after intravenous injection of ¹⁹⁹Tl-chloride and corresponding to counterlateral area one should diagnose the presence and local activity of inflammatory process. In the wrist, in the foot, in the forearm at ER being below 1.21 - no inflammation should be detected, at ER ranged 1.21-2.69 - inactive inflammatory process should be detected or its subacute or chronic phase, at ER being above 2.69 - active inflammatory process, acute phase should be determined. In hip joint, femur, shin and scapula at ER ranged 1.07-2.31 - inactive inflammatory process, subacute or chronic phase, at ER being above 2.31 - active inflammatory process and acute phase should be detected. The present innovation enables to apply new scintigraphic differential-diagnostic criteria of inspecific inflammatory processes of motor system.

EFFECT: higher diagnostic efficiency of scintigraphy.
