Evaluation of whiplash injuries by technetium 99m isotope scanning.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite the frequency with which whiplash injuries present to accident and emergency (A&E) departments, there lacks an objective investigation to define the severity of the initial injury or the morbidity that may ensue. Following reports on the effectiveness of isotope bone scanning for soft tissue and ligament injuries a study was undertaken of isotope scanning of whiplash injuries. The objectives of the study were to isolate the anatomic site of the injury and to quantify the severity of the injury with relation to the concentration of isotope uptake and subsequent morbidity.

The technetium-99m complex of the L,L-ethylenedicysteine diethylester (EC), of the brain imaging agent, was reported as a good choice for replacement of the renal nuclear medicines like OIH radiopharmaceutical. This present research work studies the structural, electronic and spectral properties of the EC compound and its complex with technetium-99m radionuclide from theoretical insight. All co...
متن کاملA five year audit of the role of parathyroid hormone assays and thallium-technetium isotope subtraction scanning
An audit has been performed of the value of parathyroid hormone assays and thallium-technetium isotope scanning in the pre-operative investigation of 67 hypercalcaemic patients referred for surgery over a 5 year period. Parathyroid hormone assay by region-specific technique was found to have a diagnostic sensitivity of75% (n = 52) whilst the more recent assay for the intact molecule was 97% sen...

The role of various radionuclide investigations, including parathyroid scintigraphy, bone scintigraphy and serum parathormone estimations in the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism is reviewed briefly. The initial experience with the dual isotope (Tl-201; Tc-99m) subtraction scintigraphy for the preoperative localization of parathyroid adenomas is presented (JPMA 37 : 237, 1987).
