Radionuclide imaging of experimental myocarditis.
The ability of 67Ga citrate and 99mTc pyrophosphate cardiac imaging to detect myocarditis was assessed in an experimental rabbit model. Twenty-three rabbits were imaged approximately 72 hours after infusion of i.v. norepinephrine. Diffuse cardiac uptake was found in 13 of 15 rabbits scanned with 67Ga. Tissue distribution studies documented significant myocardial uptake of 67Ga in those with pos...
متن کاملRadionuclide imaging of infection.
Although our understanding of microorganisms has advanced significantly and antimicrobial therapy has become increasingly available, infection remains a major cause of patient morbidity and mortality. The role of radionuclide imaging in the evaluation of the patient suspected of harboring an infection varies with the situation. For example, in the postoperative patient, radionuclide imaging is ...
متن کاملCardiovascular imaging in clinical and experimental acute infectious myocarditis.
Acute myocarditis can be caused by a variety of organisms. Congestive heart failure and death may occur as a consequence of these infections. In recent years cardiac imaging, by echocardiography and magnetic resonance and nuclear imaging has become a useful adjunct in the diagnosis and management of infectious myocarditis. Specific examples of their usefulness will be given in the discussions o...
متن کاملRadionuclide Small Intestine Imaging
The aim of this overview article is to present the current possibilities of radionuclide scintigraphic small intestine imaging. Nuclear medicine has a few methods-scintigraphy with red blood cells labelled by means of (99m)Tc for detection of the source of bleeding in the small intestine, Meckel's diverticulum scintigraphy for detection of the ectopic gastric mucosa, radionuclide somatostatin r...
متن کاملRadionuclide Imaging of Musculoskeletal Infection
Radionuclide imaging studies are routinely used to evaluate patients suspected of having musculoskeletal infection. Three-phase bone imaging is readily available, relatively inexpensive, and very accurate in the setting of otherwise normal bone. Labeled leukocyte imaging should be used in cases of “complicating osteomyelitis” such as prosthetic joint infection. This test also is useful in clini...
