We report a rare case of serious voluntary intoxication by laboratory thallium monobromate combined with alcohol intake by a 24-years old man. The diagnosis of thallium intoxication was based on history, nonspecific but typical clinical symptoms including gastrointestinal complaints, painful polyneuropathy, alopecia, and confirmed by the finding of increased thallium concentration in the urine....

A case of myotonic muscular dystrophy in which thallium-20l showed dystrophic change of skeletal muscle is described. After i.v. injection of2 mCi of thallium-20l, the patient's whole body scintigram was reconstructed by taking the geometric mean of the corresponding anterior and posterior pixel counts over the 512 x 512 matrix formal. The scintigram showed manifest hypoperfusion at the site of...

one subject with isolated, fixed coronary obstruction. Three subjects with variant angina had short episodes of ischemic ST-segment elevation that lasted 20-100 seconds. Thallium scintigrams demonstrated excess uptake in regions judged to be ischemic by angiographic and electrocardiographic criteria. Two subjects, one with variant angina and the other with a fixed coronary lesion, had prolonged...

SUMMARY Dipyridamolc-Thallium imaging is a relatively safe and accurate method to evaluate myocardial perfusion in patients who arc unable to exercise to a maximal exertion (5,6,8,9). A 51year-old woman was admitted to Taleghani hospital with clinical symptoms and signs of coronary artery disease. Intravenous dipyridamote-Thallium scan was performed in this case. In multiple views obtained f...

Although thallium-201 exercise scintigraphy has been established for the detection of myocardial ischemia and viability, little is known regarding the myocardial thallium-201 kinetics during angioplasty. Herein, we report a 77-year-old man with angina pectoris, in whom serial myocardial imaging after a single dose of thallium-201 was helpful in identifying not only the culprit lesion and myocar...

The object of this study was to evaluate graft dysfunction utilizing thallium-201 scintigraphy in patients who had undergone lung transplantation. We studied 11 patients who had undergone single-lung transplantation and had 44 evaluations for suspected graft dysfunction. All evaluations included a lung thallium-201 scan and chest radiography. In addition, 42 transbronchial biopsies, 19 gallium-...

Thallium L III-edge x-ray absorption and iron-57 and tin-119 Mössbauer spectral measurements have been carried out to probe the electronic structure of the three sites in the filled skutterudite TlxCo42yFeySb12 and TlxCo4Sb122zSnz compounds with a range of x, y, and z values. The thallium L III-edge x-ray absorption spectra are independent of x, y, and z and are well reproduced by full multiple...

The evaluation of jeopardized myocardial mass is important in defining the effect of interventions during myocardial infarction. To quantitate the in vivo mass at risk, 2-dimensional echocardiography (2-D echo) and thallium-201 single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was performed in 10 closed-chest dogs after circumflex coronary artery occlusion. The 2-D images were manually digitiz...
