Cardioversion and "false positive" technetium-99m stannous pyrophosphate myocardial scintigrams.
The present studies performed in experimental animals demonstrate that electrical direct current cardioversion can produce skeletal muscle damage and increased technetium-99m stannous pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) uptake; in experimental animals the electrically damaged skeletal muscle shows necrosis with extensive calcium deposition. In addition, the frequent administration of high energy cardiove...

متن کاملTechnetium-99m-Labeled Monoclonal Antibody Fab' Fragments, Especially CEA-Scan® and Prospects for Therapy
The use of radiolabeled anticancer antibodies to detect cancer sites by external scintigraphy has had a relatively long history. With the advent of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), which precluded the need for purifying the antibodies by laborious purification steps, there was a surge of interest and efforts to develop these reagents for both imaging and therapy applications (1). Today, many thous...
متن کاملTechnetium-99m tricarbonyl labeled a broad-spectrum quinolone as a specific imaging agent in infection diseases
Nuclear medicine imaging has been used to localize infection sites and efforts have been continued to develop modified infection specific radiopharmaceuticals. In this study gemifloxacin as a broad-spectrum quinolone has been labeled with [99mTc (CO)3 (H2O)3]+ core in order to evaluate its feasibility as an infection imaging agent for in vivo use. The stability of radioconjugate was checked in ...
