Lung ventilation studies with technetium-99m Pseudogas.
Technetium-99m Pseudogas is an ultrafine near monodisperse aerosol of 0.12-microgram diam particle size. This report describes initial clinical experiences with 27 patients referred for investigation of suspected pulmonary embolism, and in whom Pseudogas ventilation images were compared with a high quality commercial aerosol. An additional group of ten patients with severe COPD was examined in ...
متن کاملTechnetium-99m-tetrofosmin imaging of lung cancer: relationship with histopathology.
Tc-99m-tetrofosmin is an agent to delineate cancer. To elucidate the usefulness of Tc-99m-tetrofosmin scintigraphy, we analyzed the relationship between the uptake of Tc-99m-tetrofosmin and histopathology in patients with lung cancer. SPECT studies were conducted twice: 15 minutes (early scan), and 60 minutes (delayed scan), after intravenous injection of 740 MBq Tc-99m-tetrofosmin. We calculat...
متن کاملtechnetium-99m subtraction scanning
Solitary parathyroid adenomas were correctly located before surgery in 20 out of 21 cases by using 20lmTl and 99mTc in a subtraction technique. The technique was not useful in identifying hyperplastic parathyroid glands. The technique is recommended as a useful procedure before surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism.
متن کاملTechnetium-99m DTPA aerosol contamination in lung ventilation studies.
UNLABELLED Contamination of working areas by 99mTc DTPA aerosol is of concern to nuclear medicine technologists. This study sought to determine the extent of 99mTc DTPA contamination to technologists, and to localize sources of aerosol leakage so that methods could be identified that would minimize contamination. METHODS Fifty to eighty millicuries 99mTc DTPA, diluted to a volume of 4-5 ml wi...
متن کاملTechnetium-99m Ceftizoxime Kit Preparation
The aim of this work was to prepare a kit of Tc-ceftizoxime (Tc-CFT), with stability and biological activity preserved, able to identify a septic focus (E. coli) in the experimental infection model in rats. The preparation of the CFT kit involved the use of lyophilized solutions containing the antibiotic ceftizoxime and the sodium dithionite reducing agent (6.0 mg/mL). After lyophilization, the...
