Technetium-99m DTPA aerosol contamination in lung ventilation studies.
UNLABELLED Contamination of working areas by 99mTc DTPA aerosol is of concern to nuclear medicine technologists. This study sought to determine the extent of 99mTc DTPA contamination to technologists, and to localize sources of aerosol leakage so that methods could be identified that would minimize contamination. METHODS Fifty to eighty millicuries 99mTc DTPA, diluted to a volume of 4-5 ml wi...
متن کاملDetection of alveolar epithelial injury by Tc-99m DTPA radioaerosol inhalation lung scan in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disorder primarily involving the joints. Lung alterations in RA may be primary or secondary to pharmacological treatments and may involve the alveoli, interstitium, airways and/or pleura. Technetium-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Tc-99m DTPA) aerosol inhalation scintigraphy is a sensitive and noninvasive test commonly employed to asses...
متن کاملLung ventilation studies with technetium-99m Pseudogas.
Technetium-99m Pseudogas is an ultrafine near monodisperse aerosol of 0.12-microgram diam particle size. This report describes initial clinical experiences with 27 patients referred for investigation of suspected pulmonary embolism, and in whom Pseudogas ventilation images were compared with a high quality commercial aerosol. An additional group of ten patients with severe COPD was examined in ...
متن کاملEvaluation of alveolar clearance by Tc-99m DTPA radioaerosol inhalation scintigraphy in welders.
OBJECTIVES The welding process produces metal fumes and gases which may affect respiratory health. Technetium-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Tc-99m DTPA) dynamic lung scanning is an easy, noninvasive method to assess disorders of alveolar-capillary barrier permeability secondary to epithelial damage. We aimed to investigate the alveolar clearance by Tc-99m DTPA radioaerosol inhalation ...
متن کاملRapid imaging of experimental infection with technetium-99m-DTPA after anti-DTPA monoclonal antibody priming.
UNLABELLED Antibodies accumulate nonspecifically in infectious foci due to the locally increased vascular permeability. This study describes a method of infection imaging in which 99mTc-DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) is trapped at the target by a previously administered anti-DTPA monoclonal antibody. DTIn1. METHODS Rats with Staphylococcus aureus-infected calf muscle were injected ...
