Again, findings on CT of the brain, chest, abdomen, and pelvis, as well as whole-body technetium

In four sessions of the two-day program, RUTA members and their family members were brought under

We conducted a study to analyze the behavior of idiopathic NBO and its outcome and to determine a cutoff level for diagnosis using technetium-99m-methylene-diphosphonate (Tc-MDP)
bone scanning. This retrospective, controlled analysis involved 9 women (mean age: 44 yr) who had been admitted to an otolaryngology department in Israel with idiopathic NBO over a 5-year period.

bone scanning, micro-computed tomography, positron emission tomography and possibly bone turnover markers.
Assessment of disease status--including computed tomography of the abdomen, pelvis, and chest,
