Clinical usefulness of 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy in the postsurgical evaluation of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer.
OBJECTIVE Tc-methoxyisobutyl isonitrile (MIBI) has been reported to show considerable clinical utility in the study of many neoplastic diseases. The aim of our study was to investigate the possible role of Tc-MIBI in the initial follow-up of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) for detecting residual thyroid uptake and/or loco-regional/distant metastases. METHODS Eighty-two patie...
متن کاملClinical approach to renal study incidental to 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy.
In order to investigate the feasibility of the assessment of renal function with 99mTc-MDP, we compared renographical images, renogram patterns and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) obtained by means of a modified Gates' method and 200 MBq of 99mTc-MDP with those obtained by means of 99mTc-DTPA. Because 19 of 20 patients had malignant tumors in the genitourinary tract, there was no differenc...
متن کاملBone scintigraphy in clinical routine
Since 1961 bone turnover has been examined using various radio-labeled substances. In 1971 bone scintigraphy was performed the first time using modern 99mTc-labeled polyphosphonates, e.g. 99mTc-hydroxyethylenephosphonate(HDP) or 99mTc-methoxyethylenephosphonate (MDP). After intravenous injection, these radiopharmaceuticals are adsorbed at the bone surface within some hours. The amount of adsorp...
متن کاملSeverity of bone marrow involvement in patients with Gaucher's disease evaluated by scintigraphy with 99mTc-sestamibi.
UNLABELLED Gaucher's disease is a lysosomal storage disorder due to a genetically transmitted deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. In the most common form of the disease (type 1), accumulation of glucosylceramide in the reticuloendothelial cells of liver, spleen, and bone marrow leads to visceromegaly, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and osteopenia. Skeletal manifestations secondary to infilt...
متن کاملDetection of solitary bone metastasis by 99mTc-octreotide scintigraphy in a patient with Hurthle cell carcinoma: A case report
A 75-year-old male patient with non-avid radioiodine Hurthle cell carcinoma was evaluated by 99m Tc- octreotide scintigraphy, in order to find possible metastatic lesions. A bony metastatic lesion was detected by this procedure which was confirmed by histopathology.99mTc-octreotide scintigraphy is a precise and cost-effective imaging modality for detection of non-iodine av...
