99mTc-Sestamibi/123I Subtraction SPECT/CT in Parathyroid Scintigraphy: Is Additional Pinhole Imaging Useful?
Objectives This retrospective study evaluated whether the use of additional anterior 99mTc-sestamibi/123I pinhole imaging improves the outcome of 99mTc-sestamibi/123I subtraction SPECT/CT in parathyroid scintigraphy (PS). Materials and Methods PS using simultaneous dual-isotope subtraction methods and an acquisition protocol combining SPECT/CT and planar pinhole imaging was performed for 175 ...
متن کاملValidity of dual tracer 99mTc-tetrofosmin and 99mTc-pertechnetate subtraction parathyroid scintigraphy in patients with primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism.
BACKGROUND/AIM Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is an endocrine disease with the third highest incidence of all endocrine disorders after diabetes mellitus and hyperthyroidism. pHPT is typically caused by a solitary parathyroid adenoma, less frequently by multiple parathyroid gland disease (MGD) and rarely by parathyroid carcinoma. Secondary hyperparatyroidism (sHPT) is a common complication ...
متن کاملAbsent radiotracer uptake in thyroid gland in parathyroid scintigraphy with 99mTc-MIBI: A case report
Localization of 99mTc- hexakis-2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) by parathyroid adenomas is well known, and this warrants MIBI scan to evaluate suspected parathyroid adenoma in primary hyperparathyroidism. Typically, the radionuclide concentrates in both the thyroid gland and parathyroid adenoma in early images, and later on delayed images washes out slowly from the...
متن کامل99mTc-MIBI imaging in thyroid nodules: is it useful?
Treglia et al. [1] have recently proposed a meta-analysis evaluating the diagnostic performance of 99mTc-MIBI scan in predicting the malignancy of thyroid nodules. 99m-Tc is registered and adopted worldwide for myocardial perfusion imaging and for the diagnostic work-up of hyperparathyroidism. Furthermore there are reports on the use of 99mTc-MIBI imaging in post-surgical evaluation of thyroid ...
متن کامل99mTc sestamibi imaging - can it be a useful substitute for hepatobiliary scintigraphy in infantile jaundice?
AIM Hepatobiliary scintigraphy is an integral part in the diagnostic work-up of the neonatal cholestasis syndrome. However, less than optimal specificity is its major disadvantage. Differentiation between biliary atresia and neonatal hepatitis is nearly impossible in some cases with poor hepatocellular function. 99mTc sestamibi (MIBI) is a cationic lipophilic agent which is a substrate of P-gly...
