UNLABELLED We present a 20 year-old male patient who had prominent positional proptosis of the right eye and admitted to the hospital for tonsillectomy operation. After conventional ophthalmological examination, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Tc 99m labeled erythrocyte scintigraphy were performed to confirm the diagnosis. Although it is rare to perform scintigraphy for this pathology, the...
Thirty consecutive patients underwent technetium-99m stannous pyrophosphate myocardial scintigraphy 48--72 hours after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation and direct current cardioversion. Five patients with transmural myocardial infarctions by ECG and enzyme determinations were correctly identified by scintigraphy. Myocardial scans were positive in five of nine patients with nontransmural...
Giant hemangiomas of the liver are clinically distinct from smaller and more innocent hemangiomas as they are more prone to complications. On imaging with ultrasound, they can also be readily confused with hepatoma, metastatic disease, or focal nodular hyperplasia. Nine giant hemangiomas (maximal diameter greater than 8 cm) were studied by scintigraphy and ultrasound. In all instances, the fill...
Distance running is among the fastest growing sports, with record registration to marathons worldwide. It is estimated that more than half of recreational runners will experience injuries related to the practice of their sport. Three-phase bone scintigraphy is a very sensitive tool to identify sports injury, allowing imaging of hyperemia, stress reaction, enthesopathy and fractures, often befor...
The well-established gold standard for imaging infection is scintigraphy with radiolabeled autologous white blood cells (WBCs). Indeed, 2 years ago, in a metaanalysis of all papers published in the previous 20 years on imaging techniques for the diagnosis of infection (1–4), the importance of WBC scanning in this field clearly emerged, with few exceptions. In particular, for the diagnosis of va...
Bone scintigraphy is a sensitive and popular method for imaging a wide array of benign or malignant skeletal abnormalities. However, the uptake of tracers used for bone scintigraphy may be observed in various extraosseous sites, thereby limiting its specificity. It is difficult to correctly localize such sites of uptake on planar bone scintigraphy alone. The addition of hybrid single-photon emi...
A common cause for surgical failure of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is the non-detection of an ectopic adenoma during the intervention. We present a case of a patient with pHPT in whom an ectopic gland was found in the right retropharyngeal space by means of a double phase (99m)Tc-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile ((99m)Tc-MIBI) scintigraphy and early SPECT-CT after several surgeries and imagin...

tc-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy is the modality of choice for diagnosis of meckel's diverticulum. interpretation of meckel's scan identifies a focal area of radiopharmaceutical uptake in the anterior abdomen similar to normal gastric mucosa. the activity must be of the same pattern and intensity as gastric uptake. we present a 13-year-old patient with gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia. tc-...
Osteomyelitis is an increasingly common pathology that often poses a diagnostic challenge to clinicians. Accurate and timely diagnosis is critical to preventing complications that can result in the loss of life or limb. In addition to history, physical exam, and laboratory studies, diagnostic imaging plays an essential role in the diagnostic process. This narrative review article discusses vari...
