Technetium-99m-methoxy isobutyl isonitrile ("'Tc-MIBI) imaging can be useful to assess myocardial sal11age following t ltrombolysis. In such acute conditions, MIBI must be readi(v a11ailab/e. The standard labeling method requires a 10-min boiling period in a boiling water bath (BWB). The purpose of this study was to compare the BWB technique to a microwa11e o11en heating (MOH) method.

The combination of breast examination and radiographic mammography (XRMM) are the established methods for breast cancer detection. However, XRMM lacks sensitivity and specificity in women with dense breasts, leading to false positive findings in 80% and false negative findings in 10% to 15% of the cases. Tc-99m Sestamibi (MIBI) scintimammography (SMM) is a new breast-imaging technique. This stu...

Objective: Technetium-99m-sestamibi (-1"'Tc-MIBI) is a radiopharmaceutical imaging agent useful for assessing myocardial perfusion. We present a simple, rapid and accurate SepPak® method to confirm the radiochemical purity of "'Tc-MIBI. Methods: Technetium-99m-MIBI preparations of high (>95%), intermediate (83-90%) and low (25-43%) radiochemical purity were evaluated by the recommended thinlaye...
