[ 1 ] - Evaluation of myocardial perfusion and function after kidney transplantation by Gated SPECT myocardial perfusion scintigraphy
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of successful kidney transplantation (KT) on myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function by both qualitative (visual) interpretation and semiquantitative parameters, using myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with gated-single photon emission computed tomography (gated-SPECT) in patients suffering from end-stage renal disease. ...
[ 2 ] - Breast 99mTc-MDP uptake in a man mimicking metastatic lesion of the ribs
A 65 year-old overweight man with a history of prostate cancer was referred to our nuclear medicine department for bone scanning. Anterior projection images showed two small foci of increased radiotracer uptake corresponding to the anterior arcs of the right and left sixth ribs, which were interpreted as suspicious for metastatic involvement. Eight months later the ...
[ 3 ] - The first experience of stem cell labeling in Iran using 111In- Oxine [Persian]
Introduction: The field of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine is rapidly moving toward translation to clinical practice. Stem cell therapy seems to be a new treatment option for some diseases. So, tracking the distribution of stem cells is crucial to their therapeutic use. Based on this fact we labeled human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with 111...
[ 4 ] - Catheter related artifacts on bone scans: report of two cases
Bone scanning using the 99mTc-phosphate analogs is an established diagnostic modality and a commonly requested radioisotope examination for a variety of pathologies involving the skeleton, such as osteomyelitis, bony metastases, and occult fractures. The bone scan is one of the most commonly requested procedure in most nuclear medicine department. The images show areas of increased and de...
