[ 1 ] - Hepatobiliary excretion of 99mTc-EC: A potential source of mistake in the interpretation of renal scintigraphy
A 10-year-old boy with a history of bloody discoloration of urine following recent appendectomy was referred to our department for urinary leakage/fistula evaluation. A renal Technetium-99m-L,L-ethylenedicysteine (99mTc-EC) scintigraphy was performed. After injection of radiotracer, a focus of activity appeared in the supralateral part of the right kidney which was confirmed as accum...
[ 2 ] - The effect of pomegranate juice, lemon juice and secanjabin in reducing infra-cardiac activity of 99mTc-MIBI during myocardial perfusion imaging in comparison with fatty food
Introduction: Eating fatty food is a common technique for decreasing extra cardiac activity, but sometimes patients refuse to eat fatty foods due to various reasons during myocardial perfusion imaging. The aim of this study is to introduce an alternative method for patients who are not able to use fatty foods to accelerate the transit of radiotracer from the liver. <stron...
[ 3 ] - The potential role of radiolabeled red blood cell scintigraphy in diagnosis of endometriosis
Introduction: Endometriosis is a gynecological disease and disorder that occurs when endometrial cells are shed through the fallopian tubes and are implanted on the surfaces of pelvis and abdomen. They form lesions that respond to hormones of the menstural cycle and will stimulate inflammation. It is controversial whether [99mTc]Tc-RBC scan would be sufficient for lo...
