Technetium Tc99m tetrofosmin single-photon emission CT for the assessment of glioma proliferation.
for the Assessment of Glioma Proliferation We read the interesting recent article by Kato et al concerning the assessment of glioma metabolic activity by positron-emission tomography (PET). The authors evaluated the type, grade, and proliferation index of 95 primary glioma cases by simultaneous [F] fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), C-methionine (MET) and C-choline (CHO) PET. Their results in astroc...
متن کاملTechnetium Tc99m-tetrofosmin brain single-photon emission CT for the diagnosis of malignant meningiomas.
Emission CT for the Diagnosis of Malignant Meningiomas We read with great interest a recent article by Nagar et al in the American Journal of Neuroradiology investigating the usefulness of diffusion-weighted MR imaging in differentiating atypical/malignant meningiomas from benign meningiomas and detecting histologic dedifferentiation to higher tumor grade. The authors studied 48 cases of mening...
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 کاملEvaluation of single photon emission computerised tomography (SPECT) using Tc99m-tetrofosmin as a diagnostic modality for recurrent posterior fossa tumours.
BACKGROUND Brain Single Photon Emission Computerised Tomography (SPECT) has been established as a potentially useful tool for the assessment of recurrent brain tumours. Though brain SPECT is exquisitely sensitive in detecting viable tumour tissue in the supratentorial region, its efficacy has not been evaluated till date in case of infratentorial posterior fossa tumours. AIM OF THE STUDY To e...
متن کامل18F-FDG PET/CT usefulness vs Tc99m-Tetrofosmin in the assessment of malignant brain gliomas: Report of two cases
Gliomas account for almost 80% of primary malignant brain tumors in adults. Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) is still the gold standard for diagnosis of brain tumors and brain 99mTc-tetrofosmin Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (99mTc-tetrofosmin-SPECT) has been established as a useful tool for their evaluation. Fluorine-18–2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emi...
