Objective: The development of new radiopharmaceuticals capable specifically imaging cancer is an important research area. For this reason, the aim study to investigate cell binding novel developed nanoradiopharmaceutical ([99mTc]Tc-nab-PTX) on HT-29 line (human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells).
 Material and Method: In study, nab-PTX was labeled with [99mTc]Tc, labeling efficiency in vitro...

Articular involvement was reported to be present in approximately 5-76% of Behçet patients. Therefore, we need a useful non-invasive method to detect articular involvement early in Behçet patients with nonspecific complaints. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (Tc-99m-MDP) bone scintigraphy in the detection of the articular involvement of Behçet's disease (BD)....

We compared growth in vascularised allograft transplants, autografts and in non-operated physes in rabbits immunosuppressed with cyclosporin A and in non-immunosuppressed animals. Molecular haplotyping was undertaken before operation to ensure allogenicity. Postoperative bone scans and fluorochrome labelling were used to confirm physeal vascularity. The animals were killed at three or five week...

Melioidosis is a potentially fatal infectious disease occurring predominantly in the tropics, caused by a Gram-negative, motile, rod shaped obligatory aerobic non-spore forming bacillus, Burkholderia pseudomallei. It can produce localised or disseminated disease largely affecting immunocompromised patients. It is a challenge to identify melioidosis early as this disease can manipulate host’s ce...

Pigment villondular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare synovial condition. The nature of this disorder is usually characterized as benign; however, malignant transformation has also been reported. MRI is the diagnostic modality of choice in evaluating this entity, revealing low T1 and T2 weighted signals and blooming artifact on gradient echo sequences.  Three-phase 99mTc-MDP bone scan has b...

Objective(s): The latest single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) reconstruction system, referred to as xSPECT Bone™, is a context-specific reconstruction system utilizing tissue segmentation information from CT data, which is called a zone map. The aim of this study was to evaluate theeffects of zone-map enhancement incorporated into the ordered-subset conjug...

AIM The aim of our study is to assess the diagnostic value of Technituim-(99m)-Methyle diphosphonate ((99m)Tc-MDP) Bone scintigraphy in the assessment of children with back pain. METHODS Included in this retrospective study were 68 child referred to us complaining of back pain (mean age of 13+ 2). There were 45 boys and 23 girls. All children have been investigated with conventional x-ray whi...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate stress fractures in leg (particularly around the knee, tibia, and femur) and knee pathology in active asymptomatic (no symptoms in the preceding month) soccer players. METHOD The study included 42 asymptomatic soccer players (21 women, 21 men; age range 19-31 years). Players from seven teams in the major female professional and amateur male soccer leagues were examined b...

Os acromiale is an anatomic variant that in rare cases can cause pain. (99m)Tc-methylene diphosphonate bone scintigraphy with SPECT/CT can play an important role in diagnosing this clinical entity. We present a male football player with shoulder pain secondary to a symptomatic os acromiale, and we demonstrate the findings on bone scanning with limited SPECT/CT that diagnosed this important clin...
