Intrapulmonary Vascular Dilatation Evaluated by 99mTc-MAA Scintigraphy and Its Association with Portal Hypertension in Schistosomiasis
BACKGROUND Portal hypertension is responsible for various complications in patients with schistosomiasis, among them intrapulmonary vascular dilations (IPVD). In cirrhotic patients the presence of IPVD is a sign of poor prognosis, but in patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis (HSS) there are no studies assessing the significance of this change. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occ...
متن کاملClinical Evaluation of a New 99mTc-MAA Kit for Lung Scanning
Lung scanning has been recognized as a clinically useful technique for portraying macroscopic pulmonary perfusion defects since it was first reported by Wagner in 1964 (1 ). A number of radiopharmaceuticals have been proposed to assess pulmonary perfusion. Although 1 3 1 I imposes many limitations as a radiotagging agent, the use of iodinated macroaggregated albumin (I-MAA) has received wide ac...
متن کامل99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma.
POLSKIE ARCHIWUM MEDYCYNY WEWNĘTRZNEJ 2016; 126 (3) MM is characterized by malignant proliferation of clonal plasma cells and excessive formation of monoclonal immunoglobulin.1 99mTc-MIBI is a radiotracer commonly used in myocardial perfusion imaging (FIGURE 1C). In literature, there have been reports on the use of 99mTc-MIBI in the diagnosis of MM since 1996.2 In a multicenter study conducted ...
متن کاملPreclinical Evaluation of 68Ga-MAA from Commercial Available 99mTc-MAA Kit
99mTc-Macroaggregated Albumin (99mTc-MAA) has been used as a perfusion agent. This study described development of the 68Ga-MAA via commercially available kits from Pars-Isotopes Company as a 99mTc-MAA kit. 68Ge/68Ga generator was eluted with suprapure HCl (0.6 M, 6 mL) in 0.5 mL fractions. The two fractions with the highest 68GaCl3 activity were generally used for labeling purposes. After label...
متن کامل99mTc-aprotinin scintigraphy in amyloidosis.
UNLABELLED Changes in the amount and distribution of amyloid lesions have been difficult to monitor because they can usually be demonstrated only by evident symptoms or from a biopsy. The recent progress in the treatment of amyloidosis stresses the need for an early diagnosis and the need for noninvasive monitoring during the course of treatment. To validate (99m)Tc-aprotinin scintigraphy, we s...
