Evaluation of technetium-99m ciprofloxacin (Infecton) in the imaging of infection.
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of technetium-99m (Tc-99m) ciprofloxacin in imaging inflammation/infection. The ciprofloxacin for labelling, as a kit, was obtained from St Bartholomew's Hospital in London. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were injected intravenously with Tc-99m ciprofloxacin and imaging was done at 10 minutes, 4 hours and 24 hours if necessary....
متن کاملFreeze-dried cold kit for preparation of 99mtc-ciprofloxacin as an infection imaging agent
Introduction: Radiolabeled antibiotics are being used for the specific diagnosis of infection by exploiting their specific binding properties to the bacterial components, thereby making it possible to differentiate infection from sterile lesions. The aim of this work was to prepare and evaluate a freeze-dried kit of ciprofloxacin designed for the labeling with ...
متن کاملTc-Ciprofloxacin (Infecton) Scintigraphy Imaging To Detect Infection Lesions Induced By Staphylococcus Aureus Susceptible Or Resistant To Ciprofloxacin Antibiotic In Foot’s Rat
The main propose of this approach is to evaluate the efficiency of Tc-Ciprofloxacin (Infecton) imaging to detect infection sites induced in foot’s rat by staphylococcus aureus susceptible to ciprofloxacin in comparison with S aureus resistant to drug. S aureus bacteria have been isolated from the patients admitted in Imam Khomeini hospital Ahvaz Khuzestan Iran. According to the table of Clinica...

متن کاملEstimation of 99mTc-ciprofloxacin accumulation indexes in bone and joint bacterial infections.
BACKGROUND/AIM 99mTc-ciprofloxacin is a radiopharmaceutical preparation sintetized to improve diagnostic accuracy of bacterial infections in human tissues. It is mostly applied in diagnosis of bone and joint infections. Many papers have confirmed its sensitivity to infection, but newer papers argued its specificity. The aim of this study was to compare the results of visual analysis of scintigr...
