Graves' disease with unilateral radioisotope uptake.

Experiences with radioisotope renography in children.

Radioisotope renography provides, from the individual kidney, a graphic record of the renal vascularity, of the excretory funtion of the tubular cells, and of the evacuatory capability of the tubules and the kidney pelvis. By the use of additional scintillation counters, an index of the rate of extraction of the isotope from the blood and its rate of accumulation in the bladder can also be obta...

Rhinoscintigraphy: a simple radioisotope technique to study the mucociliary system.

PURPOSE This was a radioisotope study of nasal mucociliary clearance of total and subtotal nasal obstruction. METHODS Rhinoscintigraphy was performed by insufflating 1.85 MBq (69 mCi) Tc-99m MAA in 20 patients. Six cases were regarded as the control group, because the presence of small spurs does not affect nasal patency. The remaining 14 patients had various rhinopathic conditions. Two regio...

Radioisotope study of small joint inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis.

Radioactive technetium (9QmTc), introduced into nuclear medicine in 1964 (Harper, Beck, Charleston, and Lathrop, 1964), has been used to visualize many organs (McCready, 1967), including the thyroid gland (Andros, Harper, Lathrop, and McCardle, 1965), the salivary glands (Harden, Hilditch, Kennedy, Mason, Papadopoulos, and Alexander, 1967b), the stomach (Harden, Alexander, and Kennedy, 1967a; I...
