Inaccuracy of Thyroid to Background Uptake Ratio in Evaluating Technetium-99m-pertechnetate Thyroid Uptake and Establishing an Improved Algorithm
Objective(s): The aim of this study was to explore the accuracy of thyroid to background uptake ratio (UR) in the evaluation of 99mTc-pertechnetate thyroid uptake (TcTU) and establishment of an improved algorithm. Methods: This study was conducted on the thyroid images of 322 patients with thyroid diseases and 67 controls. For the purpos...
متن کاملTechnetium-99m pertechnetate imaging in diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum.
Leonidas, J. C., and Germann, D. R. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49, 21. Technetium-99m pertechnetate imaging in diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum. Abdominal imaging after intravenous injection of 99mTc pertechnetate is a simple, safe, and noninvasive diagnostic procedure to show ectopic gastric mucosa, which is present in most cases of symptomatic Meckel's diverticulum. It was pe...
متن کاملTechnetium-99m pertechnetate uptake in ectopic parathyroid adenoma.
A 37-year-old male with a persistent increased parathyroid hormone level, after subtotal thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy, was referred for scintigraphic localization of a possible ectopic parathyroid adenoma. Tc-99m pertechnetate and Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphy were performed on separate days. There was marked uptake of both tracers in the mediastinum, which at surgery was confirmed to be an e...
متن کاملAccumulation of technetium-99m pertechnetate in a patient with metastases of thyroid carcinoma.
Accumulation of both Tc-99m pertechnetate and radioiodine upon scintigraphy in thyroid carcinoma and/or in its metastases is a rare occurrence. In this paper we describe a patient who was taken to surgery for left lobectomy of the thyroid with follicular adenocarcinoma and who had accumulation of both I-131 and Tc-99m pertechnetate in lung metastases. The accumulation of I-131 was less than tha...
متن کاملThyroid blood flow and uptake of technetium-99m pertechnetate in Graves' disease.
The aim of this study was to assess the relation of early thyroid blood flow (EBF) and technetium-99m pertechnetate ((99m)TcO(-)(4)) uptake, as an early diagnostic index in patients with Graves' disease (GD) by dynamic thyroid scintigraphy (40 frames, 3 sec/frame). Thirty patients with GD with mean age 50.0 +/- 9.0 y, range: 35.0-69.0 y, were studied. The results obtained were compared with tho...
