Parathyroid glands: combination of sestamibi-(99m)Tc scintigraphy and ultrasonography for demonstration of hyperplasic parathyroid glands.
OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of the types of parathyroid gland hyperplasia and the sensitivity of sestamibi-(99m)Tc (MIBI) scintigraphy and ultrasonography (US) of patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) due to chronic renal failure. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied 43 patients with SHPT (26 females and 17 males with age range of 27-75 years). Blood tests were performed to d...
متن کاملComparison of Tc-99m Ethylenedicysteine (Tc-99m EC) with Tc-99m DPTA in evaluation of renal disease [Persian]
Tc-99m-EC is a new renal radiopharmaceutical introduced as an alternative for Tc-99m MAG3. Twenty-three normal volunteers and patients in different .stages of renal disease were evaluated with Te-99m EC and Tc-99m DTPA. The mean initial uptake of EC was significantly higher as compared to DTPA. There was a high correlation between rectangular and hand-drawn ROls for kidney and background,...
متن کاملDiscordant results in Tc-99m tetrofosmin and Tc-99m sestamibi parathyroid scintigraphies.
Parathyroid scintigraphies have been used to detect pathological parathyroid glands either before as well as after the parathyroid resection surgery in patients with hyperparathyroidism. One of the most utilized techniques to perform the studies is the double-phase images with Tc-99m sestamibi, which has been shown to be very accurate in the localization of enlarged parathyroid glands. Similar ...
متن کاملComparison of Tc-99m maraciclatide and Tc-99m sestamibi molecular breast imaging in patients with suspected breast cancer
BACKGROUND Molecular breast imaging (MBI) performed with 99mTc sestamibi has been shown to be a valuable technique for the detection of breast cancer. Alternative radiotracers such as 99mTc maraciclatide may offer improved uptake in breast lesions. The purpose of this study was to compare relative performance of 99mTc sestamibi and 99mTc maraciclatide in patients with suspected breast cancer, u...
متن کاملVascular retention of Tc-99m pertechnetate and Tc-99m sestamibi, mimicking thyroid carcinoma metastases Retención vascular de 99m-Tc pertecnetato y 99m-TC sestamibi simulando metástasis de carcinoma de tiroides
Follicular thyroid carcinoma is common in regions with insufficient iodine diets and represents approximately 10-20 % of all thyroid malignancies1,2. The treatment of patients suffering from follicular thyroid carcinoma includes surgery and radioiodine therapy3. Although after definitive therapy, the survival of these patients is good, these patients need to be followed for local recurrences an...
