Detection of intracranial bleeding by 99mTc sulfur colloid scintigraphy.
In her article in the May/June 1984 issue of AJNR, Dr. LeMay [1] provides a comprehensive review of the computed tomographic (CT), pneumoencephalographic , and radiographic changes of the brain and skull as seen in the aging population. She concludes that further understanding of the involutionary changes in the brain may require other, more sensitive methods of investigation than are now avail...
متن کاملDiagnosing infection in the failed joint replacement: a comparison of coincidence detection 18F-FDG and 111In-labeled leukocyte/99mTc-sulfur colloid marrow imaging.
UNLABELLED The objectives of this study were to investigate (18)F-FDG imaging, using a coincidence detection system, for diagnosing prosthetic joint infection and to compare it with combined (111)In-labeled leukocyte/(99m)Tc-sulfur colloid marrow imaging in patients with failed lower extremity joint replacements. METHODS Fifty-nine patients--with painful, failed, lower extremity joint prosthe...
متن کاملMassive hepatomegaly in 99mTc-octreotide scintigraphy: The value of 99mTc-sulfur colloid scan
99mTc-octreotide scintigraphy, performed during the following up a 58-year old man with neuroendocrine tumor demonstrated massive hepatomegaly demonstrating multiple areas of increased and decreased uptake. Due to severe hepatomegaly concurrence of any other abdominal soft tissue lesions could not be excluded. A 99mTc-sulfur colloid scan was done and thoroughly compared wi...
متن کاملextremal region detection guided by maxima of gradient magnitude
a problem of computer vision applications is to detect regions of interest under dif- ferent imaging conditions. the state-of-the-art maximally stable extremal regions (mser) detects affine covariant regions by applying all possible thresholds on the input image, and through three main steps including: 1) making a component tree of extremal regions’ evolution (enumeration), 2) obtaining region ...
Prognostic utility of 90Y radioembolization dosimetry based on fusion 99mTc-macroaggregated albumin-99mTc-sulfur colloid SPECT.
UNLABELLED Planning hepatic (90)Y radioembolization activity requires balancing toxicity with efficacy. We developed a dual-tracer SPECT fusion imaging protocol that merges data on radioactivity distribution with physiologic liver mapping. METHODS Twenty-five patients with colorectal carcinoma and bilobar liver metastases received whole-liver radioembolization with resin microspheres prescrib...
