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...

INTRODUCTION New (188)Re and (99m)Tc peptide conjugates with substance- P (SP) were prepared and biologically evaluated. The radiopharmaceuticals have been labelled with the [M≡N](2+) (M=(99m)Tc, (188)Re) core using a combination of π-donor tridentate and π-acceptor monodentate ancillary ligands. METHODS The new radiopharmaceuticals have been prepared through a two-step reaction by simultaneo...

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...

(CS) and without (C) are shown. The numbers indicate those studies in which there was agreement in diagnosis. The table also shows the relationship of these three techniques to the final diagnosis (FD) made for the patient in each case. The final diagnosis made use of other information such as additional perfusion views, chest radiographs, and patient examination. Film (F) relates best to final...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this retrospective investigation was to evaluate the results of preoperative localization studies and intraoperative parathyroid hormone (IOPTH) assay in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and double adenomas. STUDY DESIGN Twenty-one of 287 consecutive patients with primary hyperparathyroidism who had double adenomas identified during first-time parathyroid ex...

urinary tract infection (uti) is a common disease in childhood specially in female. in this study 50 patients with stablished diagnosis of uti were evaluated by both renal scan with tc-99m dmsa and renal sonography. the study revealed that most urinary tract infections are in children, female sex between 5-9 years of age. therefore the most important complications (renal scarring) are also comm...

A case report is reviewed, in which two nontraditional interventions were used in a patient with gestational primary hyperparathyroidism: cinacalcet and technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile imaging. The rationale for these decisions is considered in view of the available data.
