IMPORTANCE Dynamic computed tomography (CT) is emerging as a first-line alternative to sestamibi scintigraphy for preoperative localization of parathyroid lesions. In recent years, there has been increased concern over the impact of radiation exposure from medical imaging, as well as on the cost of diagnostic medical procedures. An ideal diagnostic procedure would be cost effective while minimi...

UNLABELLED Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a subtype of breast cancer encountered increasingly in clinical practice because of the widespread use of screening mammography. In the present study, we evaluated the usefulness of breast-specific γ-camera (BSGC) scintigraphy in DCIS identification, describing the scintigraphic findings and their correlation with mammography and histologic subtype....

evaluation of gastric emptying rate using nuclear scintigraphy as the gold standard method has been studied in various animals, but there is no report in suckling lambs. the aim of this study was to develop a nuclear scintigraphic method to visualize and measure abomasal emptying rate by estimation of scintigraphic half emptying time (t1/2) in the live neonatal lamb. five healthy, female irania...

this report presents a 3.5-year-old boy who was hospitalized for limping. medical history and physical exams were not suggestive for any definitive diagnosis. laboratory and radiographic exams did not support any specific diagnosis either. subsequently bone scan was performed and increased activity in the ankle due to cuboid fracture was incidentally observed.

introduction: differentiation between infection and sterile inflammation is one of the most difficult medical problems and is relevant in many clinical situations. scintigraphy with radiolabeled antibiotics, еspecially labeled fluoroquinolones, is a promising tool for diagnosing bacterial inflammation. we have attempted to synthesize 99mtc-norfloxacin and studied its properties in experiment. m...

In 35 patients suspected of an infectious focus, the outcome of scintigraphy with 111In-labeled autologous leukocytes (WBC) and 111In-labeled human nonspecific immunoglobulin G (IgG) was evaluated in a prospective comparative study. Clinical, roentgenologic and microbiologic findings were considered to be proof of the presence of infection or inflammation. In this group of patients with mainly ...

Med., 1972, 107 (1) 31-46 „Ÿ In this study a com parative evaluation of pyelography, renal angiography and renal scintigraphy in diagnosing renal tumor was made on 60 subjects. Hypernephroma was most frequently diagnosed by angi...

hepatobiliary scintigraphy is a sensitive method for intra & extera hepatic bile leak diagnosis. bile lead may be seen after hepatobiliary surgery, trauma, inflammatory disease or malignant neoplasms. although sonography and ct scanning are useful for diagnosis of peritoneal or perihepatic fluid, they cannot prove bile ascites. hepatobiliary scintigraphy with tc-99m-ida agents is a physiolo...
