بررسی گره های گرم تیروئید با اسکن تکنیسیوم 99 و ید-131
Thyroid scintigraphy has been helpful in detecting and evaluation of thyroid nodules. Sodium pertechnetate Tc-99m is the most commonly used radionuclide for thyroid imaging because of its general availability, favorable dosimetric characteristics and low cost. But, there are reports of occasional disparity in isotope uptake in lesions compared with radioiodide. In order to determine percentage ...
متن کاملSeat belt-related thyroiditis documented with thyroid Tc-99m pertechnetate scans.
A 64-year-old man presented with clinical unilateral thyroiditis after chronic left neck trauma from his car seat belt. Thyroid function tests were normal. The initial thyroid Tc-99m pertechnetate scan demonstrated decreased uptake in the entire left lobe of the thyroid. The follow-up scan 1 month later showed a more normal uptake in the left lobe. This patient's clinical course, laboratory val...
متن کاملIntestinal duplication with ectopic gastric mucosa diagnosed by Meckel's diverticulum scan
Gastrointestinal duplications are rare congenital malformations and they may vary greatly in presentation, size, location and symptoms. The presence of ectopic gastric mucosa (EGM) in them is not common and they are difficult to diagnose prior to surgery. We present the case of a child with long intestinal duplication with ectopic gastric mucosa who presented with just severe anaemia and delaye...
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 کامل99mTc-pertechnetate-avid metastases from differentiated thyroid cancer are prone to benefit from 131I therapy
The aim of this study is to determine the contribution of neck and chest Tc-pertechnetate scan to the management of postoperative patients with suspicious metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), particularly to the prediction of response to radioiodine (I) therapy. Just before I administration, a total of 184 postoperative DTC patients with stimulated serum thyroglobulin (ssTg) >10 ng/m...
