Introduction: We aimed to investigate of effect of left bundle branch block (LBBB) on perfusion and functional parameters in dipyridamole Tc99m-MIBI gated myocardial perfusion SPECT which may be helpful in interpretation of myocardial perfusion imaging. Methods: We studied 70 patients with low pre-test probability of coronary artery disease in two groups:  35 patients with LBBB and  35 subject...

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to assess the integrated role of scintigraphy by Tc99m MIBI in diagnosis of parathyroid adenoma and its impacts on the myocardium, and to evaluate whether myocardium perfusion gated SPECT study could be a complementary routine workup for patient with positive parathyroid adenoma on Tc99m MIBI parathyroid scan. Methods: Rest myocardium perfusion gated S...

Bone scintigraphy has some limitations in detecting bone lesions at the time of diagnosis since Tc99m MDP scintigraphy does not trace lesions lacking osteoblastic activity3. Tc99m Sestamibi (MIBI) has been proposed as a potential tracer in patients with multiple myeloma, as its increased uptake in the bone marrow has been reported as an indicator of myeloma activity4. It has been suggested to b...

UNLABELLED A variety of diagnostic tools including biochemistry, radiological imaging bone marrow studies and recently metabolic imaging with FDG PET are used for assessment of disease extent in myeloma. AIM To evaluate the role of metabolic imaging with Tc99m Sestamibi (Mibi) SPECT-CT in Multiple myeloma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients in various stages of Myeloma were scanned after 20mCi ...

objectives: multidrug resistance (mdr), which may be due to the over expression of p-glycoprotein (pgp) and/or mrp, is a major problem in neoadjuvant chemotherapy of osteosarcoma. the aim of this study was to investigate the role of tc-99m mibi scan for predicting the response to pre-operative chemotherapy. materials and methods: twenty-five patients (12 males and 13 females, aged between 8 and...

Introduction: We aimed to investigate the effect of right bundle branch block (RBBB) on perfusion and functional parameters in dipyridamole stress/rest Tc99m-MIBI gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (GSPECT) which may be helpful in interpretation of myocardial perfusion imaging. Methods: We studied 73 patients with low pre-test likelihood of coronary artery disease in two groups: 38 patients with ...

BACKGROUND Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a frequent complication of chronic renal failure. Patients resistant to pharmacotherapy are candidates for parathyroidectomy. Invasiveness of surgical treatment can be minimized by precise preoperative localization of parathyroid glands. Imaging modalities routinely used for this purpose are ultrasonography and MIBI-Tc99m scintigraphy. CASE REPORT O...
