Simultaneous SPECT imaging of multi-targets to assist in identifying hepatic lesions
Molecular imaging technique is an attractive tool to detect liver disease at early stage. This study aims to develop a simultaneous dual-isotope single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT imaging method to assist diagnosis of hepatic tumor and liver fibrosis. Animal models of liver fibrosis and orthotopic human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were established. The tracers of (131)I-NG...
متن کاملCompensation of Cross-Contamination in Simultaneous 201Tl/99mTc Myocardial Perfusion SPECT Imaging
Introduction: It is a common protocol to use 201Tl for the rest and 99mTc for the stress cardiac SPECT imaging. Theoretically, both types of imaging may be performed simultaneously using different energy windows for each radionuclide. However, a potential limitation is the cross-contamination of scattered photons from 99mTc and collimator X-rays into the 201Tl energy window. We used a middle en...
متن کاملBone imaging demonstration of osseous lesions and hepatic uptake: Amyloid and renal dialysis effect
A 64-year-old woman, with amyloid related kidney failure (On renal dialysis) had a bone scan because of pain in the right upper femur. The 99m Tc-MDP images revealed marked hepatic uptake. In addition, there was right proximal femoral concentration of radiotracer, which corresponded to a fracture site. As an added finding, the same femor demonstrated circumferential uptake at the lower po...
متن کاملEvaluation of Simultaneous Dual-radioisotope SPECT Imaging Using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose and 99mTc-tetrofosmin
Objective(s): Use of a positron emission tomography (PET)/single-photonemission computed tomography (SPECT) system facilitates the simultaneousacquisition of images with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) andtechnetium (99mTc)-tetrofosmin. However, 18F has a short half-life, and 511keV Compton-scattered photons are detected in the 99mTc energy window.Therefore, in this study, we aimed to ...
متن کاملNEURO IMAGING OF CNS LESIONS IN AIDS
Background: The aim of this study was to review and characterize the pattern of CNS lesions in patients suffering from AIDS and to correlate these patterns with clinical disorders. Method: The MR scan, medical records and laboratory findings of 58 AIDS patients were reviewed retrospectively during April 1994 to November 1997 at the Olive view/UCLA and Shiraz Medical Centers, and the patterns o...
