A positivestatic,if dynamicis positive 0.448 0.480 The relationship between cerebral dynamic studies and static brain imaging was evaluated in 200 consecutive patient examinations. The results indicated that the two studies are not independent but are coupled. Cerebral dynamic studies have become a recog nized and helpful first step in the brain scanning pro cedure. Recent description of comput...

UNLABELLED After the extravasation of a therapeutic dose of (131)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine that produced a radiation burn to a patient's forearm, we instituted a catheter placement verification protocol. METHODS Before therapy infusion, proper placement is verified by administering 37 MBq of (99m)Tc-pertechnetate through the catheter, and monitoring activity at the administration site and on ...

A 21-year-old patient with long-standing inferior vena cava obstruction secondary to idiopathic thrombosis extending from the external iliac veins underwent a radionuclide venography with Tc-99m pertechnetate labeled erythrocytes. The blood pool phase of the study revealed bilaterally distorted inferior epigastric veins mimicking normal venous flow pattern. The authors present this case to disc...

introduction: in the current study, we evaluated the feasibility of body outlining using tc-99m filled flood source for lymphoscintigraphy imaging. methods: 80 patients were included in the study. sentinel node mapping was done using tc-99m antimony sulfide colloid. for outlining the body a tc-99m filled flood source was used which was placed behind or lateral to the patients for anterior and ...

OBJECTIVE In the last decade, surgery of primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) due to a solitary adenoma has moved on from the traditional wide bilateral neck exploration (BNE) to more limited approaches such as unilateral neck exploration and minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. DESIGN To define the role of intraoperative gamma probe and injection of a low (99m)Tc-MIBI dose in performing minima...

  Introduction: In the current study, we evaluated the feasibility of body outlining using Tc-99m filled flood source for lymphoscintigraphy imaging. Methods: 80 patients were included in the study. Sentinel node mapping was done using Tc-99m Antimony sulfide colloid. For outlining the body a Tc-99m filled flood source was used which was placed behind or lateral to t...
