Discordant results in Tc-99m tetrofosmin and Tc-99m sestamibi parathyroid scintigraphies.
Parathyroid scintigraphies have been used to detect pathological parathyroid glands either before as well as after the parathyroid resection surgery in patients with hyperparathyroidism. One of the most utilized techniques to perform the studies is the double-phase images with Tc-99m sestamibi, which has been shown to be very accurate in the localization of enlarged parathyroid glands. Similar ...
متن کاملPrognostic value of normal exercise and adenosine (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin SPECT imaging: results from the multicenter registry of 4,728 patients.
UNLABELLED Event rates associated with a normal or low-risk myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging study have been shown by numerous investigators to be associated with <1%/y of follow-up. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of a normal (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin study in a geographically diverse registry of patients undergoing stress myocardial perfusion SPECT. A total of 4,7...
متن کاملWashout rates of Tc-99m tetrofosmin in asymmetric septal hypertrophy.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the washout rate of Tc-99m tetrofosmin in asymmetric septal hypertrophy (ASH). As Tc-99m tetrofosmin accumulation and retention depend on sarcolemmal and/or mitochondrial function, the presence or absence of abnormalities in the washout rate of Tc-99m tetrofosmin could provide information about sarcolemmal and/or mitochondrial damage noninvasively. The stud...
متن کاملMalignant gliomas display altered plasma membrane potential and pH regulation--interaction with Tc-99m-MIBI and Tc-99m-Tetrofosmin uptakes.
Two radiopharmaceuticals, Tc-99m-MIBI (MIBI) and Tc-99m-Tetrofosmin (Tfos), are currently used for in vivo non-invasive monitoring of the MultiDrug Resistant (MDR) status of tumours. As gliomas are highly multidrug resistant, it is expected that the tracers would be poorly retained in those cells, but the in vivo and in vitro studies to date have shown that Tfos was highly retained in malignant...
متن کاملAssociation of ischemia on stress (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin myocardial perfusion imaging with all-cause mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus.
UNLABELLED Stress myocardial perfusion imaging is a useful method for evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with diabetes mellitus. However, its role in predicting all-cause mortality is not well defined. The aim of this study was to determine whether myocardial ischemia on stress myocardial perfusion imaging can predict all causes of death in patients with diabetes mellitus. ...
