Leukocyte labeling with technetium-99m tin colloids.
Triple density gradients of metrizamide in plasma (MP) were used to characterize label distribution in human leukocyte preparations incubated with 99mTc tin colloids. Less than 50% of the cell-associated radioactivity was specifically bound to leukocytes when heparinized blood was rotated with stannous fluoride colloid ([Tc]SFC). Labeling efficiency in leukocyte rich plasma (LRP) averaged 44%, ...
متن کاملUnexpected stomach uptake of technetium-99m-MDP.
Two pediatric cases are described in which the results of each patient's bone scan demonstrated abnormal stomach uptake. There have been a number of reports in the literature describing stomach uptake of bone agents, however, it is an uncommon finding.
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...
متن کاملCut off value of technetium uptake in the differential diagnosis of Graves, disease and subacute thyroiditis
Objective(s):The aim of this study was to determine whether technetium (99mTc) uptake is a relevant method for the differential diagnosis of Graves disease and subacute thyroiditis and calculate its cutoff value in case of its relevancy. Methods: A total of 69 patients, who were followed up (>3 months) in our hospital for thyrotoxi...
متن کاملMyocardial technetium-99m-tetrofosmin and technetium-99m-sestamibi kinetics in normal subjects and patients with coronary artery disease.
UNLABELLED This study was designed to compare the tracer kinetics between 99mTc-sestamibi and 99mTc-tetrofosmin in a heterogeneous group of 24 patients admitted for routine perfusion imaging. METHODS Twelve patients were studied with 99mTc-tetrofosmin and 12 with 99mTc-sestamibi. In each group, six patients had a low likelihood for coronary artery disease, and six patients had angiographicall...
