The role of technetium-99m-HMPAO-labeled WBC scintigraphy in the diagnosis of orbital cellulitis.
Bacterial orbital cellulitis is an infection of the soft tissues behind the orbital septum. Cellulitis is seen as a poorly defined area of increased CT density or T2 signal intensity within the fat. There is an amorphous enhancement following contrast infusion. Radiolabeled leukocytes or granulocytes are now established widely as a means of localizing various forms of inflammatory disease and i...
متن کاملTechnetium 99m-labeled annexin V scintigraphy of platelet activation in vegetations of experimental endocarditis.
BACKGROUND The pathophysiology of infective endocarditis involves a pathogen/host tissue interaction, leading to formation of infected thrombotic vegetations. Annexin V is a ligand of phosphatidylserines exposed by activated platelets and apoptotic cells. Because vegetations are platelet-fibrin clots in which platelet proaggregant activity is enhanced by bacterial colonization, we investigated ...
متن کاملTumor scintigraphy by the method for subtracting the initial image with technetium-99m labeled antibody.
The method for subtracting the initial image from the localization image was evaluated for radioimmunoscintigraphy of tumors with technetium-99m (Tc-99m) labeled antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies were parental mouse and mouse-human chimeric antibodies to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), designated F11-39 and ChF11-39, respectively, both of which have been found to discriminate CEA in tumor tissu...
متن کاملRadiotherapy and technetium-99m-labeled red blood cell scintigraphy for hemoptysis from chronic MRSA infection.
AIM To discuss the application of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and technetium-99m-labeled red blood cell scintigraphy (LRBCS) in life-threatening hemoptysis from a non-malignant condition. MATERIALS AND METHODS This case report presents a patient with persistent hemoptysis secondary to chronic Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection in whom conventional management fa...
متن کاملBiodistribution of 99m technetium- labeled creatinine in healthy rats.
The distribution of creatinine, one of the toxic guanidine compounds, in various tissues has not been studied in detail by using radiolabeled creatinine. Our objective was to investigate the biodistribution of creatinine labeled with 99m technetium (99mTc) by the stannous (II) chloride method in healthy male Wistar rats. Quality controls were carried out by radio thin layer chromatography, high...
