UNLABELLED Renal function is known to be a strong predictor of cardiovascular prognosis, and cardiorenal disease is increasingly investigated in medical research. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that a single combined cardiorenal scintigraphy examination with the perfusion tracer (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin is feasible and may allow the simultaneous investigation of cardiac and renal pathology ...

A randomized double-blind crossover comparison of 0.2 mmolikg Gd-DTPA and 0.1 mmolikg Gd-BOPTA was performed in 25 patients for MRA of the aorta and sopra aortic trunk, and the renal, mesenteric, lumbar, iliac and femoral arteries. Blinded qualitative evaluation by two radiologists revealed no differences in terms of lesion size, signal intensity or degree of stenosis. The results indicate that...

The leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally are cardiovascular diseases, and nanomedicine can provide many improvements including disease-specific targeting, early detection, and local delivery of diagnostic agents. To this end, we designed fibrin-binding, peptide amphiphile micelles (PAMs), achieved by incorporating the targeting peptide cysteine-arginine-glutamic acid-lysine-alanin...

Tc-99m-DTPA renal scintigraphy was performed before and after transcatheter coil embolization in a patient with renal arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Before embolization, scintigraphy showed a characteristic accumulation pattern compatible with the hemodynamics of an aneurysmal type of AVF in the vascular phase. After embolization, the effects of treatment, such as a change in the split renal func...

The somatostatin analogue octreotide may be used in the diagnosis of carcinoid and other neuroendocrine tumours. Radionuclide scanning following intravenous injection of 111Indium-labelled octreotide (111In-DTPA-pentetreotide) provides a sensitive, non-invasive method of localising somatostatin-positive tumours. The technique may also be used to identify patients who may respond to 'cold' octre...

abdominal wall hernias are the most common situations requiring major surgeries. in this study, we report a large incisional hernia, as an incidental finding, in a tc-dtpa scan of a renal transplant recepient. increased flow of activity in dynamic phase and relatively increased and nonuniform tracer accumulation in static phase of the study were observed.

BACKGROUND To evaluate the contrast agent performance of Gd-EOB-DTPA and Gd-BOPTA for detection and assessment of extrahepatic findings, semi-quantitatively and qualitatively. METHODS 13 patients with 19 extrahepatic lesions underwent liver MRI with Gd-EOB-DTPA and Gd-BOPTA. Quantitative and relative SNR measurements were performed in each dataset in the arterial and portalvenous phase within...
