Technetium-99m pertechnetate imaging in diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum.
Leonidas, J. C., and Germann, D. R. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49, 21. Technetium-99m pertechnetate imaging in diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum. Abdominal imaging after intravenous injection of 99mTc pertechnetate is a simple, safe, and noninvasive diagnostic procedure to show ectopic gastric mucosa, which is present in most cases of symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum. It was pe...
متن کاملMeckel's diverticulum in infants and children; technetium-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy and clinical findings.
Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital gastrointestinal anomaly. About 50% of diverticulae contain ectopic gastric mucosa. Gastric mucosal secretions can cause peptic ulceration resulting in pain, bleeding and perforation. Technetium-99m ((99m)Tc) pertechnetate scintigraphy is helpful in diagnosing ectopic gastric mucosa. We have conducted a retrospective analysis of scintigra...
متن کاملDelayed imaging for detection of Meckel's diverticulum in Tc-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy
Tc-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy is the modality of choice for diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum. Interpretation of Meckel's scan identifies a focal area of radiopharmaceutical uptake in the anterior abdomen similar to normal gastric mucosa. The activity must be of the same pattern and intensity as gastric uptake. We present a 13-year-old patient with gastrointest...
متن کاملPreoperative Diagnostic Strategy for Parotid Gland Tumors Using Diffusion-Weighted MRI and Technetium-99m Pertechnetate Scintigraphy: A Prospective Study.
OBJECTIVE Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for diagnosis of a parotid gland tumor is widely used but its sensitivity is low and non-diagnostic rate is relatively high. In contrast, core needle biopsy (CNB) has a higher sensitivity and lower rate of sampling errors but has a higher risk of injury to adjacent organs such as facial nerve than FNAC. Screening of patients with parotid gland tu...
متن کاملTc-99m-Pertechnetate in evaluation of meckel's diverticulum [Persian]
Meckel's diverticulum is a common congenital disorder which may result in Gl bleeding. For definite diagnosis before surgery, radiographic procedures such as small intestine barium studies are not greatly successful; on the other hand Tc-99m-Pertechnetate imaging is a physiologic and noninvasive method with high sensitivity and specificity. In this report, three patients with rectorrhagia...
