Imaging applications in multicatheter brachytherapy for soft tissue sarcomas
Multicatheter brachytherapy can be applied as a monotherapy or in combination with external beam radiotherapy as an adjuvant treatment for soft tissue sarcoma. Successful application of brachytherapy in the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma requires implementation of multiple imaging modalities during preoperative and postoperative planning. Preoperative imaging is essential in planning local th...
متن کاملInitial Experience Using 99mTc-MIBI SPECT/CT for the Differentiation of Oncocytoma From Renal Cell Carcinoma
PURPOSE The differentiation of oncocytoma from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains a challenge with currently available cross-sectional imaging techniques. As a result, a large number of patients harboring a benign oncocytoma undergo unnecessary surgical resection. In this study, we explored the utility of 99mTc-MIBI SPECT/CT for the differentiation of these tumors based on the hypothesis that t...

Purpose. To assess the effectiveness of Ir-192 interstitial brachytherapy as an adjunct to wide local excision as a functionsaving strategy for soft tissue sarcomas.Subjects and methods. From September 1993 to April 1998, 20 consecutive patients diagnosed with soft tissue sarcomas were treated with a combination of wide local excision and interstitial brachytherapy. In 16 patients brachytherapy...
متن کاملAdjuvant radiotherapy with brachytherapy boost in soft tissue sarcomas
PURPOSE The standard primary treatment for soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a wide surgical resection, preceded or followed by radiotherapy. Purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the efficacy of perioperative brachytherapy (BRT) plus postoperative external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) in patients with intermediate-high risk STS. MATERIAL AND METHODS BRT delivered dose was 20 Gy. Exte...
متن کامل99mTc-MIBI SPECT/CT imaging contribution in the diagnosis of patients with hyperparathyroidism
Introduction: Hyperparathyroidism is presented with increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion due to hyperfunctioning of one or more of the four parathyroid glands. Primary hyperparathyroidism (p-HPT) can be due to parathyroid adenoma, hyperplasia or carcinoma of the parathyroid gland. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (s-HPT) is usually a response to hypocalcaemia and consecut...
