Role of 99mTc-octreotide acetate scintigraphy in suspected lung cancer compared with 18F-FDG dual-head coincidence imaging.
UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical value of tomographic (99m)Tc-octreotide acetate (hereafter, (99m)Tc-octreotide) scintigraphy in the detection of patients with suspected lung cancer in comparison with that of (18)F-FDG dual-head coincidence imaging (DHC). METHODS Forty-four consecutive patients with suspected pulmonary neoplasms underwent tomographic (99m)Tc-octre...
متن کاملBone Metastases Detection by 18F-FDG PET/CT Versus 99mTc Bone Scintigraphy (Planar and SPECT) in Patients with Lung Cancer
Detection of bone metastases in patients with lung cancer has important clinical significance and therapeutic implications, since it causes relevant changes in the patients’ treatment. This study compared the efficacies of 18F-fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET)/CT, and 99mTc bone scintigraphy [planar and single photon emission CT (SPECT))for detection of bone metastases ...
متن کاملFDG PET and dual-head gamma camera positron coincidence detection imaging of suspected malignancies and brain disorders.
UNLABELLED The purpose of the study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) images obtained with a dual-head coincidence gamma camera (DHC) with those obtained with a dedicated PET in a series of 26 patients. METHODS Nineteen patients with known or suspected malignancies and 7 patients with neurological disorders underwent PET imaging after injection of approximatel...
متن کاملDual-head gamma camera coincidence imaging in pancreatic cancer.
OBJECTIVE To assess the usefulness of dual-head camera imaging with 2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) in the identification of malignant pancreatic lesions. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifteen (15) patients with pancreatic masses (7 females and 8 males, mean age 52 10 years) have been studied prospectively. After a 12-hour fasting patients received 120 MBq of FDG and were imaged in a dua...
متن کاملMassive hepatomegaly in 99mTc-octreotide scintigraphy: The value of 99mTc-sulfur colloid scan
99mTc-octreotide scintigraphy, performed during the following up a 58-year old man with neuroendocrine tumor demonstrated massive hepatomegaly demonstrating multiple areas of increased and decreased uptake. Due to severe hepatomegaly concurrence of any other abdominal soft tissue lesions could not be excluded. A 99mTc-sulfur colloid scan was done and thoroughly compared wi...
