BACKGROUND To study the value of periareolar intra-dermal injection of Tc-99m sestamibi (MIBI) for sentinel node mapping in breast carcinoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty patients with early-stage breast cancer were included in our study. 17.5 MBq Tc-99m-MIBI was injected intradermally to 25 patients and the remainders were injected with the same dose of Tc-99m-antimony sulphide colloid. Anteri...

Telah dilakukan pengambilan data sekunder 15 orang volunteer perempuan kanker payudara untuk menganalisis radiofarmaka Tc-99m Sestamibi yang diinjeksikan ke dalam tubuh. Alat digunakan pada penelitian adalah kamera gamma. Hasil citra pasien diolah menggunakan teknik ROI. didapat menunjukkan bahwa biodistribusi tubuh bagian anterior dan posterior menyebar di daerah perut dengan rentang nilai 150...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to examine the influence of time to reperfusion on myocardial salvage. BACKGROUND Major trials of reperfusion therapy for myocardial infarction (MI) have demonstrated improved outcome for patients achieving earlier reperfusion. However, some patients experience significant benefit despite delayed reperfusion. METHODS Fifty-five patients with a first anterior MI ...

 Background: Bilateral neck exploration is the gold standard for parathyroid adenoma localization in primary hyperparathyroidism. But surgeons do not have adequate experience for accurate surgical exploration and new methods are developed for surgery like unilateral exploration and minimally invasive surgery, thus, preoperative localization could reduces time and stress in surgical performance....

We address the question of whether anisotropic superconductivity is compatible with the evidently weak sensitivity of the critical temperature Tc to sample quality in the high-Tc copper oxides. We examine this issue quantitatively by solving the strongcoupling Eliashberg equations numerically as well as analytically for s-wave impurity scattering within the second Born approximation. For pairin...

OBJECTIVES This review summarizes the results of single-photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) technetium-99m (Tc-99m) tracer imaging in patients with stable symptoms, patients with acute coronary syndromes, patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgery and patients with chest pain in the emergency department. BACKGROUND Previous studies have examined the prognostic value of stress thal...

We have devised a new position (Monzen position) which can suppress the influence of scattered rays from surrounding organs (liver, etc.) when conducting myocardial imaging. Unlike the conventional techniques, which require a waiting period of 30-60 minutes before imaging can be started after the infusion of technetium-99m sestamibi or technetium-99m tetrofosmin, this position allows single-pho...
