Technetium-99m Methylene Diphosphonate Single-photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography of the Foot and Ankle
The complex anatomy and function of the foot and ankle can make it difficult to determine the cause of symptoms in patients with foot and ankle pathology. Following initial clinical and radiographic assessment, additional imaging with magnetic resonance imaging may be required, which is often seen as the modality of choice. Although sensitive to pathological changes in bone metabolism and vascu...
متن کاملA false negative by planar scintigraphy liver hemangioma, diagnosed by technetium-99m-red blood cells and technetium-99m-sulfur colloid single photon emission tomography scan.
We present a 42-year-old patient who was examined in the Gastroenterology Department of Gaziantep University for chronic abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Ultrasonography showed a 4.7 cm solid hepatic mass on the right lateral side of the right lobe of the liver. The patient was then sent to the Nuclear Medicine Department of Gaziantep University for liver scan. After injecting autologous re...
متن کاملLong-term prognostic value of exercise technetium-99m tetrofosmin myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography
BACKGROUND Exercise (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a useful tool for short- and medium-term risk stratifications. Currently, the long-term prognostic application of this technique has not been evaluated. METHODS AND RESULTS Exercise (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin was performed in 655 consecutive patients. Ten patients who underwent revascularization <60 days af...
متن کامل99mTc dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan in patients with established radiological renal scarring.
The findings on 99mTc dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scans were examined in 54 patients aged 3 to 33 years in whom renal scarring had been diagnosed radiologically in childhood after urinary tract infection. There was no recent history of infection. Vesicoureteric reflux had been present in 48 patients and had stopped in 23 at the time of the DMSA scan. In six of the 72 radiologically scarred k...
متن کاملUsefulness of electrocardiographic-gated stress technetium-99m sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography to differentiate ischemic from nonischemic cardiomyopathy.
The noninvasive differentiation between ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy is frequently difficult. We examined the clinical value of stress electrocardiographic gated (ECG-gated) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to identify ischemic cardiomyopathy and detect coronary artery disease (CAD) in 164 patients without known CAD, ejection fraction < or =40% by ECG-gated SPECT, a...
