Personalized predictive lung dosimetry by technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin SPECT/CT for yttrium-90 radioembolization
BACKGROUND For yttrium-90 ((90)Y) radioembolization, the common practice of assuming a standard 1,000-g lung mass for predictive dosimetry is fundamentally incongruent with the modern philosophy of personalized medicine. We recently developed a technique of personalized predictive lung dosimetry using technetium-99m ((99m)Tc) macroaggregated albumin (MAA) single photon emission computed tomogra...
متن کاملLocal preparation, standardization and quality control of technetium labelled macroaggregated albumin for lung perfusion studies.
Lung perfusion study is an important investigation in various pulmonary diseases. The radiopharmaceutical commonly used now-a- days is imported macroaggregated human albumin (in kit form), which is labelled with technetium (Tc99m-MAA). Due to its high cost the technique could not be fully exploited. We have tried to locally prepare freeze dried MAA particles. Various parameters like concentrati...
متن کاملReply to 'Accurate measurement of the normality values of macroaggregated albumin lung perfusion scan in hepatopulmonary syndrome'.
Dear Editor, It is with great interest that we reply to the letter of questions and comments of Dr. Prof. Xiao Li to the article ‘‘Evaluation of normality and reproducibility parameters of Tc-MAA scintigraphy in the diagnosis of intrapulmonary vascular dilatations’’. However, we do not agree with the criticism regarding the group evaluated and the protocol used for scintigraphy with technetium-...

متن کاملTechnetium-99m-tetrofosmin imaging of lung cancer: relationship with histopathology.
Tc-99m-tetrofosmin is an agent to delineate cancer. To elucidate the usefulness of Tc-99m-tetrofosmin scintigraphy, we analyzed the relationship between the uptake of Tc-99m-tetrofosmin and histopathology in patients with lung cancer. SPECT studies were conducted twice: 15 minutes (early scan), and 60 minutes (delayed scan), after intravenous injection of 740 MBq Tc-99m-tetrofosmin. We calculat...
