Across 1. largest organ in the body and produces bile 4. critical organ during a bone scan 8. mechanism by which diphosphonates localize in bone 11. causes poor tagging of technetium of phosphonates 12. also known as EDC 13. this organ stores bile 14. brain's sole energy substrate 15. difficultor or discomfort associated with swallowing 17. radiopharmaceutical used in the solid part of the gastric emptying study 21. radiopharmaceutical commonly used to image cavernous hemangioma 23. radiopharmacuetical to image bone 24. this organ destroys old red blood cells 25. the outer nervous tissue of the cerebral hemisphere 26. CSF is made mostly of this substance 28. doesn't cross the intact blood brani barrier 32. free pertechnetate gets taken up in the salivary glands by this method 33. radiocolloids are cleared from the circulation by this method 38. autoimmune disease of the salivary glands 40. commonly used radionuclide angiogram with TC-DTPA 41. includes skull,spine, and thoracic girdle 42. patient is lying on his stomach 45. E max - Et / E max multiplied by 100 48. also known as HMPAO 49. consists of brain and spinal cord 50. originates at the mouth and concludes at the anus 52. single photon electron computed tomography 54. this organ is located behind the trachea 55. bone formation 56. represents one-third of all Nuclear Medicine scans 57. four spaces within the brain that form CSF 58. dual energy x-ray absorptiometry 59. coins, keys, belt buckles, necklaces are examples 60. assist with absorption of calcium in the intestines

Down 2. radiopharmaceutical used in the liquid part of the gastric emptying study 3. crosses the intact blood brain barrier 5. from 10 to 20 mCi of MDP 6. synonymous with Sincalide 7. used to image the bone 9. enlargement of the ventricles caused by excessive CSF 10. another word for vomiting 16. crosses the intact blood brain barrier 18. composed of calcium, phosphate, and hydroxyl ions 19. dual photon absorptiometry 20. doesn't cross the intact blood brain barrier 22. refers to increase uptake of colloid in the spleen and bone marrow relative to liver 27. also known as HMPAO 29. the amount of time taken to digest and excrete food 30. deossification of bone 31. hormone secreted by the thyroid, reduces bone turnover 34. patient is lying on his back 35. requires a bolus injection followed by dynamic 2 second images 36. most common benign tumor of the liver 37. visualization of the stomach, thyroid, and salivary glands 39. replacement of old bone with new 43. drains peritoneal fluid into the superior vena cava 44. consists of the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands 46. acts as a reducing agent 47. this organ consists of the fundus, corpus, and antrum 51. controls the movement of substances from the vascular space to the brain's extracellular fluid 53. looking at blood pool and vascularity

The look has changed! Some of the puzzles that people list for the public get indexed by the search engines (like Google). Some people find those puzzles and cannot figure out how to make a puzzle of their own. So this page now has the navigation sidebar.
