Tc-99m-methoxyisobutylisonitril (MIBI) scintigraphy is localizing diagnostic methods that is used for detection of sicken parathyroid gland (PT). The use of this method for PT diseases diagnosis makes surgical treatment of a patient more successful. This is a report about the patient who was surgically treated for primary hyperparathyroidism caused by hyperplasia of parathyroid glands and cance...

The present study evaluated whether technetium-99m sestamibi (99mTc-MIBI) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) characteristics of intracranial meningioma are correlated with the histological malignancy, proliferative potential, and P-glycoprotein (Pgp) expression, encoded by the multidrug resistance gene-1 (MDR-1) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA). Twenty-one patients with intracr...

We use the Hill function to analyze the dynamics of Tc-99m 2 methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (Tc-MIBI) scintigraphy data and to examine the earlier lower extremity microvascular perfusion of diabetic patients without typical clinical symptoms and with the preserved normal ankle-brachial index (ABI).Eighty-eight participants (30 healthy control, 34 diabetic patients, and 24 diabetic patients with pe...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether, in subjects with a very early stage of coronary artery disease without hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenoses, cardiac adrenergic innervation is already affected. Methods: Quantitative coronary angiography and dual-isotope SPECT with 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) and 99mTc-sestamibi (MIBI) were conducted to assess the functio...

Evaluating the Effect of Injected Dose 99mTc- MIBI on Quantitative Parameters Myocardial Perfusion Imaging

Background: proper assessment of patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy is a key determinant for management other investigations, improving the patient’s quality life and reducing future cardiac events. This study was conducted to evaluate value myocardial MIBI washout rate using delayed resting perfusion imaging in limited resources countries. Patients Methods: this prospective included 86 (64 ...

AIM Hepatobiliary scintigraphy is an integral part in the diagnostic work-up of the neonatal cholestasis syndrome. However, less than optimal specificity is its major disadvantage. Differentiation between biliary atresia and neonatal hepatitis is nearly impossible in some cases with poor hepatocellular function. 99mTc sestamibi (MIBI) is a cationic lipophilic agent which is a substrate of P-gly...

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...

We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and preoperative localization capacity of 99mTc methoxyisobutylnitrile (MIBI) parathyroid scintigraphy and ultrasonography (USG) in enlarged parathyroid glands in the primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) as well as the relationship between the success rate of these techniques and biochemical values. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated 39 patients with c...

OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of Technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile (Tc-99m MIBI) gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) in the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) and silent myocardial ischemia (SMI) in patients with asymptomatic type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS For this purpose, 35 patients with type 2 DM and 15 volunteer...
