Accumulations in the salivary gland due to Tc-99m pertechnetate imaging improved after isotope therapy for Graves' disease.
Figure 1. Salivary gland scintigraphy performed before (March 2005) and after (August 2005) iodine-131 internal radiation therapy (I-131 IRT). Anterior images obtained at 10 and 20 minutes after intravenous injection of Tc-99m, and at 5 minutes after washout by Vitamin C are shown. Original scintigraphy was performed as a dynamic study with 1 min/frame. Significantly higher accumulation was obs...
متن کاملDelayed imaging for detection of Meckel's diverticulum in Tc-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy
Tc-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy is the modality of choice for diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum. Interpretation of Meckel's scan identifies a focal area of radiopharmaceutical uptake in the anterior abdomen similar to normal gastric mucosa. The activity must be of the same pattern and intensity as gastric uptake. We present a 13-year-old patient with gastrointest...
متن کاملEvaluation of the effect of isotretinoin on salivary gland function by Tc-99m pertechnetate imaging in acne vulgaris patients.
BACKGROUND/AIM Isotretinoin is an effective drug utilized in the management of acne vulgaris and is known to cause dry mouth. In this study, we aimed to evaluate this effect of isotretinoin on the salivary gland function in patients with acne vulgaris using technetium-99m (Tc-99m) pertechnetate imaging of the salivary glands. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study population consisted of 28 patients...
متن کاملAnalysis of the factors associated with Tc-99m pertechnetate uptake in thyrotoxicosis and graves' disease.
To determine the factors associated with 20 minute Tc-99m pertechnetate thyroid uptake, we examined all patients in whom thyrotoxicosis was diagnosed at Chiba-Hokusoh Hospital, Nippon Medical School from 2001 April through 2003 March. Patients with thyrotoxicosis diagnosed during this period were 57 with Graves' disease (76%), 11 with transient hyperthyroxinemia (TH)(14.7%), and 7 with subacute...
