Positive myocardial scintigraphy at the bedside--evaluation using a portable gamma camera.
A study was undertaken to evaluate the role of positive infarct scintigraphy in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), using Technetium99m stannous pyrophosphate (Tc-PYP) and a portable gamma camera. Sixty-one patients admitted to the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) with a presumptive diagnosis of AMI or ischaemic cardiac pain were studied. Positive scans were present in 24/25 (96%) patie...
متن کاملIntraoperative Scintigraphy Using a Large Field-of-View Portable Gamma Camera for Primary Hyperparathyroidism: Initial Experience
BACKGROUND We investigated a novel technique, intraoperative (99 m)Tc-Sestamibi (MIBI) imaging (neck and excised specimen (ES)), using a large field-of-view portable gamma camera (LFOVGC), for expediting confirmation of MIBI-avid parathyroid adenoma removal. METHODS Twenty patients with MIBI-avid parathyroid adenomas were preoperatively administered MIBI and intraoperatively imaged prior to i...
متن کاملGamma scintigraphy in the evaluation of drug delivery systems [Persian]
Gamma-scintigraphy is applied extensively in the development and evaluation of pharmaceutical delivery systems, particularly for monitoring formulations in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. The radiolabelling is generally achieved by the incorporation of an appropriate radionuclide such as technetium-99m or indium-111 into the formulation or by addition of a non-radioactive iso...
متن کاملFeasibility of portable gamma camera imaging in intraoperative radioguided parathyroid adenoma identification
Novel surgical applications include radioguided procedures in parathyroidectomy operations. In order to investigate the feasibility of usage of the portable gamma camera in parathyroidectomy operations; intraoperative radioguided parathyroidectomy operation was performed in three hyperparathyroidism patients with inconclusive preoperative parathyroid scintigraphy results. Intraoperative portabl...
متن کاملEvaluation of the clearance characteristics of liposomes in the human nose by gamma-scintigraphy
The nasal cavity possesses many advantages as a site for drug delivery, such as, ease of administration, applicability for long term treatments and a large surface area for absorption. One important limiting factor for nasal drug delivery is the limited time available for absorption within the nasal cavity due to mucociliary clearance. Several drug delivery systems including different kinds of ...
