Hyperplasia of all four parathyroid glands in renal failure visualized by Tc-99m tetrofosmin scintigraphy.
Key words: hyperparathyroidism-radionuclide-imaging; primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism [1–3]. With hyperplastic parathyroid glands tetrofosmin hyperplasia; Technetium-99m-diagnostic use; tetrofosmin imaging gives an overall sensitivity of 84% and a specificity of 75%, higher than those of Tc-99m sestam-ibi, ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging Renal history [1–2]. The former h...
متن کاملParathyroid glands: combination of sestamibi-(99m)Tc scintigraphy and ultrasonography for demonstration of hyperplasic parathyroid glands.
OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of the types of parathyroid gland hyperplasia and the sensitivity of sestamibi-(99m)Tc (MIBI) scintigraphy and ultrasonography (US) of patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) due to chronic renal failure. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied 43 patients with SHPT (26 females and 17 males with age range of 27-75 years). Blood tests were performed to d...
متن کاملDiscordant 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 کاملuse of 99m Tc-DMSA scintigraphy in assessment of renal complications of COVID-19
ABSTRACT COVID-19 mainly affects respiratory and immune systems, but other organs like renal, cardiovascular, lung and nervous systems could also be involved in both acute and chronic settings (1, 2). There is a lot of studies that demonstrate an increasing number of long COVID-19 who continue to experience persistent symptoms weeks or even months after the initial disease. Reports suggest...
متن کاملComparison of Tc-99m Ethylenedicysteine (Tc-99m EC) with Tc-99m DPTA in evaluation of renal disease [Persian]
Tc-99m-EC is a new renal radiopharmaceutical introduced as an alternative for Tc-99m MAG3. Twenty-three normal volunteers and patients in different .stages of renal disease were evaluated with Te-99m EC and Tc-99m DTPA. The mean initial uptake of EC was significantly higher as compared to DTPA. There was a high correlation between rectangular and hand-drawn ROls for kidney and background,...
