Study Design
Single-center retrospective observational study

Subject Recruitment Method and Period
All consecutive adult patients who underwent a nuclear medicine examination using 99mTc-HMDP at this facility between April 1, 2024, and March 31, 2027, and who met the inclusion criteria.

Main Measurement and Evaluation Items
The following items will be measured and evaluated using existing image data.
Accumulation count values in various regions of interest (ROIs) will be measured, and quantitative indices such as the H/CL ratio and H/WB ratio will be calculated.
The impact of differences in image reconstruction parameters (e.g., FBP, OSEM) and background ROI settings on the stability of the above indices will be compared and examined.
