چکیده

twenty-one patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma were studied prospectively with tc-99m (v) dmsa after surgery. pentavalent dmsa scintigram demonstrated abnormal uptake in 13 and equivocal uptake in 6 patients. finally, seven patients with surgical or other imaging documentation were selected for this paper. most of these patients were asymptomatic. six patients had hypercalcitonemia and serum calcitonins was not measured in one patient. whole body scan with tc-99m (v) dmsa demonstrated abnormal radiotracer uptake in all patients locating in the neck (3 cases), mediastinum (5 cases), bone (2 cases), liver (1 case) and thyroid lobes (2 cases). this preliminary study with the locally developed tc-99m (v) dmsa showed that it is a useful imaging agent for localization of metastatic lesions in asymptomatic patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma and high serum calcitonine.

Role of Tc-99m MIBI and Tc-99m DMSA-V in Evaluation of Bone Tumors

Background: Bone sarcomas are usually aggressive tumors treated by multimodality approaches. Early detection of residual or recurrent tumor tissue after treatment is important in the management of these patients. This is currently achieved by clinical examination, diagnostic radiological procedures, radionuclide imaging techniques and detailed histological examination. Tumor response to preoper...

Comparison of Tc-99m Ethylenedicysteine (Tc-99m EC) with Tc-99m DPTA in evaluation of renal disease [Persian]

Tc-99m-EC is a new renal radiopharmaceutical introduced as an alternative for Tc-99m MAG3. Twenty-three normal volunteers and patients in different .stages of renal disease were evaluated with Te-99m EC and Tc-99m DTPA. The mean initial uptake of EC was significantly higher as compared to DTPA. There was a high correlation between rectangular and hand-drawn ROls for kidney and background,...

Megaureter visualization on Tc-99m DMSA scintigraphy.

We present a patient with left-sided obstructed megaureter secondary to neuropathic bladder. He was referred for technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid ((99m)Tc-DMSA) renal cortical scintigraphy to evaluate renal cortical function. Images obtained 4 hr after injection showed significant activity in the dilated left ureter. When the ureter is visualized on DMSA scan, obstructive megaureter shoul...
