Penangkapan non-osseous pada pemeriksaan sidik tulang dengan menggunakan radiofarmaka Technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (Tc-99m MDP) dapat disebabkan karena proses neoplasma, trauma, inflamasi, iskemik, dan artefak. Perubahan metabolisme lesi diketahui pencitraan Tc-99m MDP. Lesi jaringan lunak terlihat adanya peningkatan aktivitas area fokal. Tujuan penulisan telaah pustaka ini adalah unt...

BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Technetium-99m is the major radionuclide used in the world and mainly is provided by fission product. However extensive research has been conducted on the use of accelerators for production of (99m)Tc. This investigation reports the production of (99m)Tc radioisotope using cyclotrons and the preparation, quality control and biodistribution studies of four...

PURPOSE Renal size is an important indicator to determine adequate organ growth in children. The aim of this study was to estimate renal size with Technesium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan and propose a simple formula for predicting renal length in normal Korean children. METHODS This study included 346 children (148 boys and 198 girls; age range, 1 month to 17 years) in whom renal l...

Sentinel node biopsy (SNB) in breast cancer is a promising surgical technique that avoids unnecessary axillary lymph node dissection. To optimize lymphatic mapping with radiopharmaceuticals, mammary lymphoscintigraphy with 30-50 MBq of technetium-99m-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid human serum albumin (99mTc-HSAD), technetium-99m-human serum albumin (99mTc-HSA), or technetium-99m-tin colloi...

The authors report and discuss a case of bilateral renal artery stenosis in a hypertensive 9 year-old girl that was first suspected with Technetium-dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scintigraphy. The scintigraphy showed signs of acute renal failure while the patient was on enalapril for controlling her hypertension. Bilateral renal artery stenosis was confirmed with computed tomography angiography....

Objective—To evaluate the role of vitamin A on renal scarring in recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Design—Twenty three children with UTIs and renal scarring (mean (SD) age 7.3 (3.9) years) and 91 children without renal scarring (6.4 (3.4) years) were studied. All the children had serum vitamin A and â-carotene measurements and nutritional evaluation. Renal scarring was assessed by tech...

Objective: To determine the correlation of 18F-FDG SUV value with bone scintigraphy findings, i.e. uptake Tc-99m in diagnosed cases malignancy sclerotic metastasis.
 Study Design: Prospective longitudinal study.
 Place and Duration Study: Armed Forces Institute Radiology Imaging, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Sep 2020 to Mar 2021.
 Methodology: This study included 30 patients age 18 ...

Perfusion study should be preoperatively required for the trapping of an internal carotid artery (ICA) in the traumatic pseudoaneurysm in the petrous ICA. A 23-year-old man was admitted with a semicomatose consciousness after a passenger traffic accident. A fracture on the right petrous apex and a pseudoaneurysm in the right petrous ICA was found in the brain computed tomography (CT) angiogram....

background: hormesis is defined as the bio-positive response of something which is bio-negative in high doses. in the present study, the effect of radiation hormesis was evaluated on the survival rate of immunosuppressed balb/c mice by cyclosporine a. materials and methods: we used 75 consanguine, male, balb/c mice in this experiment. the first group received technetium-99m (3700bq) and the sec...
