Changes in bone plasma clearance using technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate ((99m)Tc-MDP) were quantified and correlated with changes in bone turnover markers in 10 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Subjects underwent bone scintigraphy at baseline and 3 and 18 months after initiating TPTD 20…
