99mTc-aprotinin scintigraphy in amyloidosis.
UNLABELLED Changes in the amount and distribution of amyloid lesions have been difficult to monitor because they can usually be demonstrated only by evident symptoms or from a biopsy. The recent progress in the treatment of amyloidosis stresses the need for an early diagnosis and the need for noninvasive monitoring during the course of treatment. To validate (99m)Tc-aprotinin scintigraphy, we s...
متن کاملAssessment of the effects of aging and medication on salivary gland function in patients with xerostomia using 99mTC-scintigraphy.
To examine the effect of aging and medication on xerostomia, the salivary gland function was evaluated in 20 patients with xerostomia using 99mTc-scintigraphy and the measurement of unstimulated whole saliva (USWS). All of the patients showed USWS volume of less than 2ml/10min. The patients were divided into 2 subgroups based on age (under 65 and 65 and older) and medication status (patients wh...
متن کاملAssessment 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...
متن کاملQuantitative salivary gland scintigraphy.
OBJECTIVE Uptake of 99mTc-pertechnetate in salivary glands reflects intact salivary gland parenchyma. However, no standardized protocol for an accurate quantification of parenchymal function has been established so far. METHODS In this paper we report on a validated acquisition protocol supplying a normal database for standardized quantitative salivary gland scintigraphy. RESULTS The major ...
متن کاملDetection of intracranial bleeding by 99mTc sulfur colloid scintigraphy.
In her article in the May/June 1984 issue of AJNR, Dr. LeMay [1] provides a comprehensive review of the computed tomographic (CT), pneumoencephalographic , and radiographic changes of the brain and skull as seen in the aging population. She concludes that further understanding of the involutionary changes in the brain may require other, more sensitive methods of investigation than are now avail...
