"As 99mTc MDP is renally excreted, reduced renal function can result in poor image quality as the tracer is not cleared effectively from the soft tissues. It is therefore important to optimise renal function and ensure adequate patient hydration."

"Bone scintigraphy (a.k.a. bone scans) is a nuclear medicine (scintigraphic) study that makes use of technetium-99m (commonly Tc-99m-methylene diphosphonate (MDP)) as the active agent 2; its diagnostic efficacy lies in its ability to interact with the extracellular matrix of the bone - both recently formed, characterised by intense osteoblastic activity, and amorphous - accumulating within it (so-called chemoadsorption mechanism) 8. About 50% of the injected dose will be absorbed by the bones after 2 to 6 hours 2."
