What investigations are useful to make the diagnosis in Pagets disease?
Bloods
X ray
What does this show?

Disorgansied bone remodelling (femur)
Looser’s zones
-> PAGET’S DISEASE
What is this?

T-99 bisphosphonate scan showing increased uptake in the humerus
What are T-99 scans used for normally?
Normally used to see bone turnover in cancer patients to look for bony metastases
What can T-99 scans be used for in endocrinology?
Thyroid scan (T-99 is a label)
What condition is this?

Grave’s Disease
What is this?

Hot nodule
What type of scan is this?
What is the diagnosis?

Gallium scan
Insulinoma
What scans do you use for:
- Abdominal mets from cancer
- Bony mets
- Primary Neuroendocrine tumours (insulinomas)
- Thyroid scans

What is osteomalacia caused by?
Osteomalacia is caused by a lack of vitamin D. This results in secondary hyperparathyroidism, which in turn attempts to stimulate bone formation.
