| Abstract |
One of common causes of cold defects on bone scintigraphy is an attenuation artifact. Cold defects can
be produced by belt buckles, buttons, earring, necklaces, or other metal objects. Cold lesions in the
abdomen are also produced by retained barium in the gastrointestinal tract after recent barium studies. We
observed artifacts due to retained barium in the colon on bone scintigraphy, which simulated cold bone
metastases in two patients with extraskeletal cancer. (Korean J Nucl Med 2002;36;314-6) |
