Intrathoracic gastric cyst demonstrated by 99mTc pertechnetate scintigraphy

A case of early gastric cancer whose diagnosis was expedited by amogastrin-99mTc pertechnetate scintigraphy.

OKUYAMA, S., MISHINA, H., YAMAGAT A, R., YAMAMOTO, K., NAGASHIMA, H. and TAIMA, T. A Case o f Early Ga.~tric Cancer Whose Diagnosis Was Expedited by Amogastrin-99n°Tc Pertechnetate Scintigraphy. Tohoku J, exp. Med., 1982, 137 (2), 231-232 99mTc pertechnetate imaging of the stomach was carried out in a case of 63-year-old man 15 min after amogastrin. A coldness on the scintigram led to an explor...

Extrathyroidal uptake from thyroid carcinoma on 99mTc-pertechnetate scintigraphy.

Three cases of imaging with 99mTc-pertechnetate (99mTcO4) and unusual positive lymph node uptake in the neck are reported hereby. Two cases were later diagnosed to be well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma, (DTC) with nodal metastasis. The third was a confirmed case of carcinoma thyroid that had presented with mass in the neck soon after surgery, being prepared for ablative dose of radioactive i...

Assessment of Salivary and Lacrimal Gland Dysfunction after Radioiodine Therapy Using 99mTc-Pertechnetate Scintigraphy

Background: Iodine-131 (I-131) is an effective treatment for differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTC) after surgery. Salivary and lacrimal gland dysfunction has been described in patients receiving high doses of 1-131 due to radiation damage to salivary and lacrimal glands. Objective: This prospective study was conducted to determine the short term effect of oral 1-131 therapy administered to th...

Validity 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 ...
