This study was to investigate and analyze the diagnostic value of nuclear medicine ultrasound examination in subacute thyroiditis. Three hundred cases with thyroiditis were selected as research group, while another 300 health enrolled control both ranging from August 2013 October 2016. Patients group underwent detection erythrocyte sedimentation rate, serum free triiodothyronine, thyroxine, hig...

Medical uses of radiation have grown very rapidly over the past decade, and, as of 2007, medical uses represent the largest source of exposure to the U.S. population. Most physicians have difficulty assessing the magnitude of exposure or potential risk. Effective dose provides an approximate indicator of potential detriment from ionizing radiation and should be used as one parameter in evaluati...

introduction: in the current study, we compared the h-indices of web of science (wos), scopus, and gs of the iranian nuclear medicine scientists methods: full time members of two major nuclear medicine research centers of iran with more than 5 year of experience (nuclear medicine research center of mashhad university of medical sciences, and research institute for nuclear medicine of tehran uni...

Introduction: The aim of present study was to estimate effective dose from most common procedures performed in nuclear medicine departments of Golestan province. Methods: Data of nuclear medicine procedures performed in 2 nuclear medicine departments in Golestan province were collected during 4 years. Effective dose, collective effective dose and effective dose per examination were calculated u...

Nu uclear magnetic resonance (NMR)' spectroscopy, which has been used by chemists and physicists for more than 30 years, is now becoming a powerful technique in the medical sciences because of its unique ability to monitor intracellular metabolites noninvasively. The fundamental principle underlying NMR spectroscopy is that nuclei of certain atoms, such as hydrogen ('H), phosphorus (31p), carbo...

The use of the Monte Carlo method to simulate radiation transport has become the most accurate means of predicting absorbed dose distributions and other quantities of interest in radiation treatments of cancer patients using either external or radionuclide radiotherapy. This trend has continued for the estimation of the absorbed dose in diagnostic procedures using radionuclides as well as the a...

Nuclear Medicine was established in Myanmar in 1963 by Dr Soe Myint and International Atomic Energy expert Dr R. Hochel at Yangon General Hospital. Nuclear medicine diagnostic and therapeutic services started with Probe Scintillation Detector Systems and rectilinear scanner. In the early stage, many Nuclear Medicine specialists from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) spent some time ...
