Oesophageal Conduit – a Cause of Diffuse Mediastinal Uptake on Thyroid Scintigraphy
UNLABELLED 99mTc-pertechnetate scintigraphy plays an essential role in the management of a variety of thyroid and parathyroid disorders. The authors report an unusual case of mediastinal tracer distribution of 99mTc-pertechnetate and 99mTc-MIBI in relation to an oesophageal conduit following oesophago-gastrectomy and reconstructive surgery on thyroid scintigraphy. This is a rare but important c...
متن کاملAbsent radiotracer uptake in thyroid gland in parathyroid scintigraphy with 99mTc-MIBI: A case report
Localization of 99mTc- hexakis-2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) by parathyroid adenomas is well known, and this warrants MIBI scan to evaluate suspected parathyroid adenoma in primary hyperparathyroidism. Typically, the radionuclide concentrates in both the thyroid gland and parathyroid adenoma in early images, and later on delayed images washes out slowly from the...
متن کاملExtrathyroidal 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...
متن کاملIncidental thyroid uptake during 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate bone scintigraphy in oncologic patients
Introduction: Extraosseous accumulation of 99mTc – methylene diphosphonate (MDP) may be due to neoplastic, dystrophic, hormonal, inflammatory, ischemic, traumatic or excretory disorders. 99mTc-MDP incidental thyroid uptake is not frequent and is possibly caused by the presence of dystrophic or metastatic calcification, biopsy procedure and presence of beni...
متن کاملDiffuse bilateral breast uptake on the myocardial perfusion SPECT of a nursing female
Bilateral diffuse intense breast uptake was noted in a 40 year old female who was evaluated with Tc-99m sestamibi (MIBI) myocardial perfusion scan for possible ischemia. She was breast feeding her 1.5 year old child. The intense uptake in the breasts was superimposed on the apical and anteroapical regions of the myocardium and caused interpretation problem. We recom...
