Scintigraphic imaging with technetium-99M-labelled ceftizoxime is a reliable technique for the diagnosis of deep sternal wound infection in rats.
PURPOSE To evaluate whether scintigraphy with technetium-99m-labeled ceftizoxime ((99m)Tc-CFT) can differentiate mediastinitis from aseptic inflammation associated with sternotomy. METHODS Twenty female Wistar rats were randomly distributed into four groups: S (control) -partial upper median sternotomy with no treatment; SW (control) - sternotomy and treatment of sternal wounds with bone wax;...
متن کاملDiagnosis of sternal wound infection by technetium-99m-leukocyte imaging.
An imaging study is needed that can detect sternal wound infections and distinguish between superficial and deep sternal wound infection when a clinical diagnosis is uncertain and a decision regarding surgical intervention must be made. We retrospectively reviewed the 99mTc-leukocyte scans of 29 patients referred to rule out sternal wound infection. The presence or absence of deep or superficia...
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...
متن کاملTechnetium-99m tricarbonyl labeled a broad-spectrum quinolone as a specific imaging agent in infection diseases
Nuclear medicine imaging has been used to localize infection sites and efforts have been continued to develop modified infection specific radiopharmaceuticals. In this study gemifloxacin as a broad-spectrum quinolone has been labeled with [99mTc (CO)3 (H2O)3]+ core in order to evaluate its feasibility as an infection imaging agent for in vivo use. The stability of radioconjugate was checked in ...
