99mTc-MDP extraction in relation to 81mKr perfusion following a partial osteotomy in the dog tibia.
The bone mineral extraction of technetium-99m-methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP), and blood supply of Krypton-81m (81mKr) have been compared in normal and osteotomy regions of the canine tibia. A partial osteotomy was carried out under aseptic conditions, and isotopic measurements made over a period of 123 days. Both blood flow and bone mineral extraction increase after a partial osteotomy.
