abstract men-i is a rare genetic disorder classically characterized by a predisposition to tumors of the parathyroid glands, anterior pituitary gland, and pancreatic islet cells. we present a case of men-i syndrome diagnosed using predominantly nuclear medicine imaging followed by radionuclide therapy, thus emphasizing the role of nuclear imaging in diagnosing and treating men-i.

introduction: nowadays, science mapping is considered an excellent technique for decision-makers to find solutions for problems in research planning and development. in this work, we aimed to depict a science map of “radiology, nuclear medicine, and medical imaging” in iran. methods: all publications indexed in thomson reuters web of science database in the fields mentioned above with at least ...

thyroid nodules are common, occurring in almost two-thirds of some populations; among these only about 7% are malignant. the most important question with any new discovered thyroid nodule is, “is this malignant?” the main arbiter of malignancy or benignity remains fine needle aspiration and the mainstay of treatment surgery. but given the resources involved, doing an fnac or surgery in every di...

gamma camera is an important apparatus in nuclear medicine imaging. its detection part is consists of a scintillation detector with aheavy collimator. substitution of semiconductor detectors instead of scintillator in these cameras has been effectively studied. in this study, it is aimed to introduce a new design of p-n semiconductor detector array for nuclear medicine imaging. a p-n semiconduc...

Widespread studies on tumor diagnosis has led to the development of techniques with greater sensitivity and improved specificity for detection of occult and small subclinical tumors. Tumor imaging by radiolabeling of tumor-specific antibodies (Immunoscintigraphy) or tissue specific biochemical agents (Receptor imaging) and especially physiologic imaging with positron emitters (PET), have ...

Introduction:Low-pass filters eliminate noise, and accordingly improve the quality of filtered back-projection (FBP) in the reconstruction of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images. This study aimed at selection of an optimum low-pass filter for FBP reconstruction of SPECT images of small structures. Material and Methods:Sp...
