99mTc-Sestamibi/123I Subtraction SPECT/CT in Parathyroid Scintigraphy: Is Additional Pinhole Imaging Useful?
Objectives This retrospective study evaluated whether the use of additional anterior 99mTc-sestamibi/123I pinhole imaging improves the outcome of 99mTc-sestamibi/123I subtraction SPECT/CT in parathyroid scintigraphy (PS). Materials and Methods PS using simultaneous dual-isotope subtraction methods and an acquisition protocol combining SPECT/CT and planar pinhole imaging was performed for 175 ...
متن کاملDual radioisotopes simultaneous SPECT of 99mTc-tetrofosmin and 123I-BMIPP using a semiconductor detector.
Objective(s): The energy resolution of a cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) solid-state semiconductor detector is about 5%, and is superior to the resolution of the conventional Anger type detector which is 10%. Also, the window width of the high-energy part and of the low-energy part of a photo peak window can be changed separately. In this study, we used a semiconductor detector and examined the ef...
متن کاملTwo phase imaging of 99mTc-SESTAMIBI and 123I-BMIPP for patients with angina pectoris.
We saw three cases of angina pectoris in which 99mTc-SESTAMIBI delayed images at rest were useful in diagnosing ischemia risk areas. These findings indicated that delayed 99mTc-SESTAMIBI images may be more sensitive to slight ischemia than 123I-BMIPP images, and suggested that imaging with 99mTc-SESTAMIBI twice at rest may be more effective. The addition of 123I-BMIPP SPECT was considered to be...
متن کاملAtypical non-[99mTc]Tc-MIBI avid parathyroid adenoma with a sternal brown tumor, mimicking ectopic parathyroid adenoma in planar and SPECT images: Importance of SPECT/CT acquisition
Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is defined by the excess level of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Parathyroid adenoma is responsible for about 80% of all pHPT. Parathyroid adenoma with cystic feature and atypical pathology is recognized as a rare entity. Technetium-99m methoxy isobutyl isonitrile ([99mTc]Tc-MIBI) scintigraphy has favorable detection rate for ectopic gland as well as th...
متن کاملEvaluation of Simultaneous Dual-radioisotope SPECT Imaging Using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose and 99mTc-tetrofosmin
Objective(s): Use of a positron emission tomography (PET)/single-photonemission computed tomography (SPECT) system facilitates the simultaneousacquisition of images with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) andtechnetium (99mTc)-tetrofosmin. However, 18F has a short half-life, and 511keV Compton-scattered photons are detected in the 99mTc energy window.Therefore, in this study, we aimed to ...
