Additional Value of SPECT/CT to Tc-99m MAG3 Renal Scintigraphy in the Diagnosis of a Patient with Ureteroileal Fistula
UNLABELLED We performed Tc-99m MAG3 dynamic renal scintigraphy followed by a SPECT/CT imaging to a 38-yr-old woman who had a fistula in the lower urinary tract after a gynecological operation for diagnostic purposes. After scintigraphy, CT and fusion images were evaluated, it was observed that the activity in the right lower quadrant was actually in the ileal lumen. When early and late SPECT/CT...
متن کاملSuperiority of tc-99m MAG3 to tc-99m DTPA in treating a patient with mild renal artery stenosis.
A 22-year-old female patient with severe hypertension underwent both Technetium-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetate and Technetium-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine basal and captopril renal scintigraphy. While no significant change was seen with Tc-99m DTPA, there was left sided parenchymal retention of captopril Tc-99m MAG3 suggesting renal artery stenosis which was confirmed by angiography.
متن کاملClinical significance of additional lateral imaging in diagnosis of prosthesis infection by combined Tc-99m labeled leukocyte/bone marrow scintigraphy
Introduction: Recently the most accurate diagnostic method in the diagnosis of prosthesis infection is the combination of Tc-99m labeled leukocyte/bone marrow imaging. However the diagnostic efficiency of the test is influenced because of its low spatial resolution. Recently SPECT/CT imaging is implicated in this test with efficient additional diagnostic improvement. In the dep...
متن کاملComparison of Tc-99m Ethylenedicysteine (Tc-99m EC) with Tc-99m DPTA in evaluation of renal disease [Persian]
Tc-99m-EC is a new renal radiopharmaceutical introduced as an alternative for Tc-99m MAG3. Twenty-three normal volunteers and patients in different .stages of renal disease were evaluated with Te-99m EC and Tc-99m DTPA. The mean initial uptake of EC was significantly higher as compared to DTPA. There was a high correlation between rectangular and hand-drawn ROls for kidney and background,...
متن کاملAn incidental detection of aortic aneurysm on Tc-99m MAG3 renal scintigraphy.
A 71-year-old man with newly diagnosed hypertension was referred for Technetium-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (Tc-99m MAG3) renal scintigraphy to evaluate the recent onset of impairment in renal functions. Dynamic imaging revealed activity flow which was suspicious for aortic aneurysm (AA) with a concurrent decrease in left renal blood flow. CT angiography of the thoracoabdominal aorta confirmed...
