BACKGROUND Reverse redistribution and rapid washout of 99mTc-sestamibi are observed in patients with acute myocardial infarction and may indicate viable myocardium. However, the clinical significance of this phenomenon has not been rigorously examined in other cardiac diseases. Thus, we investigated whether reverse redistribution and washout of 99mTc-sestamibi could be used in the diagnosis and...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The tracer tachnetium-99m-2-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (Tc99m-sestaMIBI) has recently been shown to concentrate in some neoplastic tissues, including myeloma. We investigated the diagnostic capacity and limits of this procedure in tracing focal myeloma lesions, and compared them with those of conventional radiological procedures (Xr). DESIGN AND METHODS We studied 55...
UNLABELLED The goal of this investigation was to assess the accuracy of 7'-Z-[125I]iodorotenone (125I-iodorotenone) as a new deposited myocardial flow tracer and compare the results with those for 99mTc-sestamibi. METHODS The kinetics of these two flow tracers were evaluated in 25 isolated, erythrocyte- and albumin-perfused rabbit hearts over a flow range relevant to patients. The two flow tr...
We saw three cases of angina pectoris in which 99mTc-SESTAMIBI delayed images at rest were useful in diagnosing ischemia risk areas. These findings indicated that delayed 99mTc-SESTAMIBI images may be more sensitive to slight ischemia than 123I-BMIPP images, and suggested that imaging with 99mTc-SESTAMIBI twice at rest may be more effective. The addition of 123I-BMIPP SPECT was considered to be...
99mTc-sestamibi, a substrate of the multidrug transporter P-glycoprotein (Pgp), has been used as a functional imaging agent for the multidrug resistance-1 (MDR1) phenotype. In vitro, retention of (99m)Tc-sestamibi by cells that overexpress Pgp can be enhanced by the addition of Pgp inhibitors. XR9576 (Tariquidar) is a potent and selective noncompetitive inhibitor of Pgp that is active at 25-80 ...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Technetium-99m 2-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile ((99m)Tc-sestamibi) has recently been proposed as a potential tracer in patients with multiple myeloma (MM), as its increased uptake in the bone marrow has been reported as indicator of myeloma activity. We evaluated the role of (99m)Tc-sestamibi scintigraphy in the detection of myeloma bone disease in MM and related gammopa...
HYPOTHESIS High-resolution ultrasound and technetium Tc 99m sestamibi scanning can be used for preoperative localization of abnormal parathyroid glands in patients with hyperparathyroidism. DESIGN Ultrasound and sestamibi scanning were performed in patients undergoing neck exploration for hyperparathyroidism. If the 2 scans agreed in identifying a single adenoma, and surgery confirmed the loc...
OBJECTIVE A subset of parathyroid adenomas contains a relative overabundance of oxyphil cells that are capable of greater technetium Tc 99m sestamibi tracer uptake and retention than other cell types. We examined whether the presence of oxyphil cells augments the sensitivity of technetium Tc 99m sestamibi preoperative localization and whether the histologic findings of a lesion could be predict...
Comment on A. Ghemigian, et al. Familial isolated primary hyperparathyroidism due to HRPT2 mutation.
I would like to comment that parathyroid scanning is performed with a lipophilic cationic complex of Tc, called sestamibi, and not free technetium pertechnetate, as is described in the article. According to the guidelines, dual phase Tc-sestamibi scans are commonly used for preoperative localization of parathyroid adenomas. Hyperactive parathyroid cells have a high concentration of sestamibi an...
The lipophilic cationic radiotracer (99m)Tc-sestamibi, known to be concentrated within mitochondria, is widely used for myocardial perfusion and to a lesser extent for muscle metabolism imaging. However, the exact distribution pattern in skeletal muscle has not been yet studied in detail. The present study aims to investigate the (99m)Tc-sestamibi uptake in rat skeletal muscle and myocardium in...
