Breath-holding Liver Scintiphotography by 99mTc-sulfur Colloid

Detection of intracranial bleeding by 99mTc sulfur colloid scintigraphy.

In her article in the May/June 1984 issue of AJNR, Dr. LeMay [1] provides a comprehensive review of the computed tomographic (CT), pneumoencephalographic , and radiographic changes of the brain and skull as seen in the aging population. She concludes that further understanding of the involutionary changes in the brain may require other, more sensitive methods of investigation than are now avail...

Distribution and scintiphotography studies of 99mTc-iron colloid in the rabbit.

Massive hepatomegaly in 99mTc-octreotide scintigraphy: The value of 99mTc-sulfur colloid scan

99mTc-octreotide scintigraphy, performed during the following up a 58-year old man with neuroendocrine tumor demonstrated massive hepatomegaly demonstrating multiple areas of increased and decreased uptake. Due to severe hepatomegaly concurrence of any other abdominal soft tissue lesions could not be excluded. A 99mTc-sulfur colloid scan was done and thoroughly compared wi...

99mTc-ferric hydroxide macroaggregates for pulmonary scintiphotography.

Spleen scintiphotography with technetium-99m sulfur colloid and the gamma ray scintillation camera.

Several radionuclides in a variety of chemical forms have been used for spleen scanning (1). None of these has as desirable physical properties as tech netium-99m, namely, the clean 140 keV gamma, absence of particulate radiation, and short physical half-life (2). As a result, it would be desirable to find a com pound of “9―Tc that could be used for spleen scanning. Technetium-99m sulfur co...
