We present a 55-year old male patient who was subjected to whole body skeletal scintigraphy for metastatic work up of urinary bladder cancer. Whole body 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) skeletal scintigraphy was performed. That revealed no skeletal metastasis in the entire body skeleton and normally visualized left kidney with empty right renal fossa. Additionally tracer activity ...

Imaging of the lungs in patients with asthma has evolved dramatically over the last decade with sophisticated techniques, such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, and single photon emission computed tomography. New insights into current and future modalities for imaging in asthmatic patients and their application are discussed to potentially shed a ...

This image based series comprises of a quiz pertaining to the identification of salient anatomical structures expected to be seen at a given level on the computed tomography (CT) followed by examples of multiple representative pathologies that can be seen at the same level in a routine clinical setting. It is expected that this will improve confidence of nuclear physicians in interpretation of ...

In this paper, we extend a nonnegatively constrained iterative method and three stopping rules for its iterations to the medical imaging inverse problems of computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT); the iterative method and stopping rules were introduced for use in astronomical imaging. The paper begins with a brief int...

Noninvasive assessment of myocardial perfusion is important in the diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Although single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is most commonly used, multiple modalities including myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE), positron emission tomography (PET), cardiac MRI (CMR), and cardiac compu...

Microvascular abnormalities of the coronary circulation are present in several cardiac disorders, are associated with risk factors, and may be present in systemic disease. For the diagnosis and quantification of microvascular dysfunction, non invasive imaging techniques can be used. This paper will highlight the roles of exercise ECG, single photon emission computed tomography, echocardiography...

we present a 55-year old male patient who was subjected to whole body skeletal scintigraphy for metastatic work up of urinary bladder cancer. whole body 99mtc-methylene diphosphonate (mdp) skeletal scintigraphy was performed. that revealed no skeletal metastasis in the entire body skeleton and normally visualized left kidney with empty right renal fossa. additionally tracer activity collected i...
