Non-visualized Thyroid Gland by Tc-99m MIBI Scan with Normal Thyroid Scan

Evaluation of thyroid scan with 99mTc-MIBI in selected patients candidate for thyroid surgery [Persian]

Aim: Thyroid scan with sestamibi is used for evaluation of thyroid nodules with the aim of increasing specificity before surgery. In this study we evaluated the role of Sestamibi thyroid scan in candidates for thyroid surgery. Methods and patients: During two years, 37 patients were studied with solitary thyroid nodules, referred for thyroid surgery due to malignant or suspicious FNAB res...

Quantitative evaluation of normal uptake of mandibular condyle in bone scan with Tc 99m-MDP [Persian]

Unilateral condylar hyperplasia is the main cause of mandibular asymmetry. Radionuclide bone scanning is a useful procedure for functional evaluation of temporomandibular joint. In this study, 39 patients with normal bone scan and no facial asymmetry were studied. All patients were below 22 years of age. Normal condylar uptake was determined in this group of patients. Right & left condyla...

Gastroesophageal reflux detected on the myocardial perfusion scan with (99m)Tc-MIBI.

Incidental finding of hiatal hernia on (99m)Tc-sestamibi whole-body scan in thyroid cancer evaluation.

Absent radiotracer uptake in thyroid gland in parathyroid scintigraphy with 99mTc-MIBI: A case report

Localization of 99mTc- hexakis-2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) by parathyroid adenomas is well known, and this warrants MIBI scan to evaluate suspected parathyroid adenoma in primary hyperparathyroidism. Typically, the radionuclide concentrates in both the thyroid gland and parathyroid adenoma in early images, and later on delayed images washes out slowly from the...
