Clinical utility of positron emission mammography.
Several imaging modalities have been introduced over recent years to better screen for and stage breast cancer. Positron emission mammography (PEM) has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and introduced into clinical use as a diagnostic adjunct to mammography and breast ultrasonography. PEM has higher resolution and a more localized field of view than positron emission tomograp...
متن کاملQuantitative evaluation of normal uptake of mandibular condyle in bone scan with Tc 99m-MDP [Persian]
Unilateral condylar hyperplasia is the main cause of mandibular asymmetry. Radionuclide bone scanning is a useful procedure for functional evaluation of temporomandibular joint. In this study, 39 patients with normal bone scan and no facial asymmetry were studied. All patients were below 22 years of age. Normal condylar uptake was determined in this group of patients. Right & left condyla...
متن کاملPrognostic value of baseline [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and 99mTc-MDP bone scan in progressing metastatic prostate cancer.
PURPOSE To compare the diagnostic and prognostic value of [(18)F] fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and bone scans (BS) in the assessment of osseous lesions in patients with progressing prostate cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In a prospective imaging trial, 43 patients underwent FDG-PET and BS prior to experimental therapies. Bone scan index (BSI) and standardized uptake ...
متن کاملEvaluation of ocular hydroxyapatite implant with Tc-99m MDP bone scan [Persian]
Static bone scan was performed in 46 patients for evaluation of ocular Hydroxyapatite Vascularization. Study Findings indicated that bone scan, with TC-99m MDP is an appropriate method for evaluation of Hydroxyapatite Vascularization and for estimating the time For peg insertion into the Hydroxyapatite implant. Our study showed proper Hydroxyapatite Vascularization when the ratio of activ...
متن کاملOptimal scan time for evaluating pancreatic disease with positron emission tomography using F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose.
OBJECTIVE Image interpretation in positron emission tomography (PET) using F-18-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) is usually performed for images obtained at 1 h postinjection (PI) of FDG, but it remains unknown whether this is the optimal time for imaging patients with pancreatic disease. The aim of this study was to assess the optimal scan time for FDG-PET for patients suspected of having pancre...
