Analysis 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...
متن کاملThyroid blood flow and uptake of technetium-99m pertechnetate in Graves' disease.
The aim of this study was to assess the relation of early thyroid blood flow (EBF) and technetium-99m pertechnetate ((99m)TcO(-)(4)) uptake, as an early diagnostic index in patients with Graves' disease (GD) by dynamic thyroid scintigraphy (40 frames, 3 sec/frame). Thirty patients with GD with mean age 50.0 +/- 9.0 y, range: 35.0-69.0 y, were studied. The results obtained were compared with tho...
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 کاملTc-99m-Pertechnetate in evaluation of meckel's diverticulum [Persian]
Meckel's diverticulum is a common congenital disorder which may result in Gl bleeding. For definite diagnosis before surgery, radiographic procedures such as small intestine barium studies are not greatly successful; on the other hand Tc-99m-Pertechnetate imaging is a physiologic and noninvasive method with high sensitivity and specificity. In this report, three patients with rectorrhagia...
متن کاملComparison of Thyroid Blood Flow and Uptake Indices Using Technetium-99m Pertechnetate in Patients with Graves’ Disease and Euthyroid Subjects
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to evaluate parameters of early blood flow (EBF) including duration of EBF, perfusion index (PI), uptake indexes 1 and 2 (UI1 and UI2) derived from dynamic thyroid scintigraphy in patients with Graves' disease (GD), and euthyroid (EI). Maximum instant uptake and maximum uptake of the thyroid gland were also assessed. METHODS A total of 50 patients wi...
