What Does The Following Test Report Indicate?
Question: I am attaching a report i received from a nuc med test. Can you explain the results
Brief Answer:
Degenerative arthritis of the right hip and a weak spot of skull bone
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for the query,
I have read your attached report.
According to the report, you seem to have degenerative arthritis of the right hip and some weak spot of Bone in the skull.
The degenerative arthritis is also known as Osteoarthritis which is common in the weight bearing joints like the hip and the knee and presents as we age. This requires physiotherapy to strengthen the muscles around the hip and medication to control the pain if any. An X-ray of the hip will demonstrate arthritic features which can be confirmed.
The skull demonstrating a weak spot could be due to various possible reasons like trauma, tumor or porosis etc. Have you had any symptoms related to the skull region recently? Any trauma or history of any tumor in the past?
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow-up queries.
Regards,
Dr.Aashish Raghu
