Usefulness of 99mTc-HMDP scintigraphy for the etiologic diagnosis and prognosis of cardiac amyloidosis
BACKGROUND Amyloidosis is characterized by extracellular deposits of insoluble proteins that cause tissue damage. The three main types are monoclonal light chain (AL), wild-type transthyretin (wt-TTR) and mutated transthyretin (m-TTR) amyloidosis. Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) raises diagnostic challenges. OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic accuracy of (99m)Tc-HMDP-scintigraphy for typing CA, diff...
متن کاملEstimation of 99mTc-ciprofloxacin accumulation indexes in bone and joint bacterial infections.
BACKGROUND/AIM 99mTc-ciprofloxacin is a radiopharmaceutical preparation sintetized to improve diagnostic accuracy of bacterial infections in human tissues. It is mostly applied in diagnosis of bone and joint infections. Many papers have confirmed its sensitivity to infection, but newer papers argued its specificity. The aim of this study was to compare the results of visual analysis of scintigr...
متن کاملAnalysis of Hip Joint Dose in Prostate Cancer Radiation Therapy: A Dosimetric Comparison of Treatment Plans
Background and purpose: Radiation therapy as a part of cancer treatment is used in almost 50-60% of involved cases. In prostate cancer radiation therapy, a large volume of pelvis is irradiated, so, it is necessary to preserve sensitive organs around the treatment area, especially rectum and bladder. In this study, some dosimetric parameters such as minimum dose (Dmin), maximum dose (Dmax), mean...
متن کاملAccumulation of 99mTc-PMT in renal metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma.
We describe here a case in which 99mTc-Sn-N-pyridoxy-5-methyltryptophan (99mTc-PMT) scintigraphy was useful in diagnosing renal metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A 62-year-old man who had undergone hepatectomy for HCC presented 6 years after initial diagnosis with left flank pain and was found on CT and MRI to have a tumor in the left kidney. Hepatobiliary scintigraphy using 99Tc-PM...
متن کاملBullet in hip joint.
Recently, hip arthroscopy has become more popular in the diagnosis and extraction of intraarticular foreign bodies compared to open surgery. If a foreign object such as a bullet is not extracted from the hip joint, it may cause mechanical arthritis, infection and systemic lead toxicity. We present the arthroscopic excision of a bullet from the hip joint of a 33-year-old male patient who sustain...
