OKUYAMA, S., MISHINA, H., YAMAGAT A, R., YAMAMOTO, K., NAGASHIMA, H. and TAIMA, T. A Case o f Early Ga.~tric Cancer Whose Diagnosis Was Expedited by Amogastrin-99n°Tc Pertechnetate Scintigraphy. Tohoku J, exp. Med., 1982, 137 (2), 231-232 99mTc pertechnetate imaging of the stomach was carried out in a case of 63-year-old man 15 min after amogastrin. A coldness on the scintigram led to an explor...

Extrathyroidal uptake from thyroid carcinoma on 99mTc-pertechnetate scintigraphy.

Three cases of imaging with 99mTc-pertechnetate (99mTcO4) and unusual positive lymph node uptake in the neck are reported hereby. Two cases were later diagnosed to be well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma, (DTC) with nodal metastasis. The third was a confirmed case of carcinoma thyroid that had presented with mass in the neck soon after surgery, being prepared for ablative dose of radioactive i...

What need is there for standardization of thyroid uptake or scintigraphy using 99mTc pertechnetate in thyroid disease diagnosis?

A case of gastric duplication evaluated by gastric emptying scintigraphy.

Gastric duplications are relatively rare, and communication with the gastric lumen is extremely rare. A 67-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of recurrence of epigastric pain and fullness. An upper gastrointestinal contrast study revealed a double compartment stomach, with gastric duplication starting at the esophagogastric junction outside the greater curvature. Computed tomogra...

The Fast Screening Method of Biological Samples for Early Diagnosis of Gastric Cancer

Introduction: Early diagnosis of gastric cancer is the best solution for reversing cancer and curing patients. So far, gastric cancer is diagnosed in late stages due to misinterpretation of symptoms or absence of specific symptoms. Highly sensitive and selective detection methods for biomarkers are needed for early detection. Methods: This paper proposed a new fast screening method, based on t...
