Normal liver-to-heart transit time and shunt fraction after transplenic injection of 99MTC-pertechnetate in healthy cats

Calculation of 99mTc-DTPA transit times in normal kidney [Persian]

Introduction: Renal dynamic study is a well-established and popular test in routine practice of nuclear medicine. The test is non-invasive, rapid and unique in evaluation of the kidney function. In despite of its clinical values, the parameters derived from renogram are physiologically meaningless. That is due to the fact that renogram is not the true kidney function. From mathematical po...

Clinical need for both scintigraphy with technetium-99m GSA and per-rectal portal scintigraphy in some patients with chronic liver disease.

Scintigraphy with 99mTc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetate with galactosyl human serum albumin (99mTc-GSA) and per-rectal portal scintigraphy are useful for evaluating hepatic functional reserve and portal circulation, respectively. We did the procedures simultaneously in some patients to examine the relationship between hepatic functional reserve and portal circulation in chronic liver disease. Sc...
