Tc99m-renal imaging agent--the preparation and comparative clinical evaluation.
Radionuclide Tc99m DTPA (Diethylenetriaminepenta Acetic Acid) renal imaging is being used to assist in the evaluation of overall GFR, the intra-renal transit time, the cortical transit time, response to frusimide injection, diagnosis of ATN and rejection in renal transplant cases. A study was conducted at PINSTECH in order to prepare DTPA kit locally and evaluate the labeling efficiency as well...
متن کاملPitfalls in paediatric oncology imaging
Imaging a new mass lesion in a child requires careful consideration of a variety of issues. The age of the child is an important factor in determining the appropriate test to start with and the age also helps provide an appropriate differential diagnosis, which can then be used to guide further imaging. The long-term outcome for most children with cancer is very good, with over 70% achieving 5-...
متن کاملImaging using Tc99m-tetrofosmin for the detection of the recurrence of brain tumour: a comparative study with Tc99m-glucoheptonate.
BACKGROUND In the past "blood-brain barrier" agents such as Tc99m-glucoheptonate were routinely used for the diagnosis of brain tumours. Of late, agents used for studying myocardial perfusion namely, Tc99m-tetrofosmin, Thallium-201, and Tc99m-sestamibi have replaced the "blood-brain barrier agents " when imaging is undertaken for the detection of the recurrence of brain tumours. However, the in...
متن کاملArtifacts and pitfalls in myocardial perfusion imaging.
Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is an important imaging modality in the management of patients with cardiovascular disease. MPI plays a key role in diagnosing cardiovascular disease, establishing prognosis, assessing the effectiveness of therapy, and evaluating viability. However, MPI is a complex process, subject to a variety of artifacts and pitfalls, which may limit its clinical utility. ...
