Prognostic value of dipyridamole-thallium myocardial scintigraphy in patients with Kawasaki disease.
BACKGROUND Although coronary artery lesions are critical complications of Kawasaki disease, their long-term outcome is still unclear. It is sometimes difficult to monitor progressive changes from aneurysms to stenotic lesions because coronary angiography (CAG) cannot be repeated very often, especially in infants. Our prospective study was designed to evaluate the prognostic value of dipyridamol...
متن کاملEvaluation of cardiovascular complications with 99mTc tetrofosmin gated myocardial perfusion scintigraphy in patients with thalassemia major.
OBJECTIVE Iron overload limits the life expectancy of thalassaemic patients by causing cardiac toxicity. Iron also plays a catalytic role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of (99m)Tc Tetrofosmin gated myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (GMPS) in the detection of cardiac dysfunction in patients with thalassemia major. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fo...
متن کاملValidity of dual tracer 99mTc-tetrofosmin and 99mTc-pertechnetate subtraction parathyroid scintigraphy in patients with primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism.
BACKGROUND/AIM Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is an endocrine disease with the third highest incidence of all endocrine disorders after diabetes mellitus and hyperthyroidism. pHPT is typically caused by a solitary parathyroid adenoma, less frequently by multiple parathyroid gland disease (MGD) and rarely by parathyroid carcinoma. Secondary hyperparatyroidism (sHPT) is a common complication ...
متن کاملAssociation of hemodynamic response during dipyridamole stress testing with 99mTc-MIBI SPET myocardial perfusion image findings.
The aim of this study was to assess whether there is an association between changes in the heart rate and blood pressure after dipyridamole stress and abnormal scan findings detected with gated technetium-99m methoxy isobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). A total of 200 consecutive patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease underwent MPI using a 2 days...
متن کاملEvaluation of ِdiagnostic role of 99mTc-Tetrofosmin scintigraphy in cold thyroid nodules [Persian]
Introduction: Various radiopharmaceuticals, including 67Ga, 201Tl, and 99mTc-sestamibi have been used to differentiate benign from malignant thyroid nodules. 99mTc-Tetrofosmin, a lipophilic cationic radiotracer, and 99mTc-sestamibi have also been reported to accumulate in thyroid tumors. In this study, we evaluated the role of 99mTc-Tetrofosmin in the differentiation of malignant from ben...
