Dual-head gamma camera coincidence imaging in pancreatic cancer.
OBJECTIVE To assess the usefulness of dual-head camera imaging with 2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) in the identification of malignant pancreatic lesions. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifteen (15) patients with pancreatic masses (7 females and 8 males, mean age 52 10 years) have been studied prospectively. After a 12-hour fasting patients received 120 MBq of FDG and were imaged in a dua...
متن کاملCollimator Selection for Ga-67 Imaging with the Anger Camera
Gallium-67 images have generally suffered from poor quality because of difficulty in properly collimating the multiple photopeaks released by the radionuclide. A comparison of the spatial resolution and septal penetration characteristics of two collimators we currently use for Ga-67 imaging-with a scintillation camera system equipped with single photopeak analyzersis presented. Results show tha...
متن کاملSpleen 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...
متن کاملImaging of gene expression in live pancreatic islet cell lines using dual-isotope SPECT.
UNLABELLED We are combining nuclear medicine with molecular biology to establish a sensitive, quantitative, and tomographic method with which to detect gene expression in pancreatic islet cells in vivo. Dual-isotope SPECT can be used to image multiple molecular events simultaneously, and coregistration of SPECT and CT images enables visualization of reporter gene expression in the correct anato...
متن کاملComparison of myocardial perfusion imaging between the new high-speed gamma camera and the standard anger camera.
BACKGROUND Cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) solid-state detectors have been recently introduced into the field of myocardial perfusion imaging. The aim of this study was to prospectively compare the diagnostic performance of the CZT high-speed gamma camera (Discovery NM 530c) with that of the standard 3-head gamma camera in the same group of patients. METHODS AND RESULTS The study group consisted...
