Whole Body Scan
A double headed
whole body gamma
camera was used
Left image is the
anterior view
Right image is the
posterior view
Technical Comments
Isotope in the breasts causes indistinctness of the ribs on the anterior view
Poor positioning of the feet is noted
The focal area of apparent increased uptake in the left orbital region seen
only on the anterior is probably due to rotation of the head
Note the mature skeleton with no visualization of the epiphyseal plates
Note extravasation of isotope at the site of injection in the left elbow
Urine contamination below the pelvis is seen
