Tc-99m Labeled HMPAO white Blood Cell Scintigraphy in a patient with Hip Prosthesis
Background The ability to follow the distribution and migration of biologically active cells in human is essential for the development of cell-based therapies and diagnostics. Nuclear medicine imaging is widely applied in clinic as an attractive technique for in vivo WBC and stem cell tracking. The aim of this study was to evaluate prosthesis infection of a 51 years old man with previous histo...
متن کاملTc-99m-HMPAO uptake by bronchoalveolar cells.
Lung uptake of intravenously injected Tc-99m-HMPAO is observed in smokers and in lung toxicity due to various agents. We investigated the Tc-99m-HMPAO uptake of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells in the lungs after incubation in in vitro conditions (6 patients), intravenous injection (IV) (7 patients) and inhalation (INH) (6 patients) of Tc-99m-HMPAO in order to show whether BAL cells are also ...
متن کاملTc-99m Labeled HMPAO white Blood Cell Scintigraphy in Pediatric Patients
OBJECTIVE (99m)Tc labeled hexamethylpropylene amine oxime (HMPAO) white blood cell (WBC) scintigraphy is a frequently used option for acute infection, particularly in pediatric patients. This scintigraphy is applied to detect sites of infection/inflammation in patients with fever of unknown origin, to find and follow up osteomyelitis, and to detect suspicion of acute appendicitis. The aim of th...
متن کاملAccumulation of Tc-99m-HMPAO-labeled leukocytes in cutaneous lesions of Henoch-Schonlein purpura.
A 70-year-old man with complicated cruris fracture, treated with an arthrodesis and skin transplantation, complained about persistent pain of the right ankle and skin rashes. Bone and leukocyte scintigraphy were performed because osteomyelitis was suspected. Bone scintigraphy showed abnormal uptake in the ankle. Leukocyte scintigraphy showed only multiple hot spots in the soft tissue. A cutaneo...
متن کاملTc-99m HMPAO brain SPECT in linear nevus sebaceous syndrome.
The authors present a case of linear nevus sebaceous syndrome (LNSS) with atrophy of bilateral frontotemporal areas of the brain, left cerebellum and hippocampus, and bilateral uncal dysplasia demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Magnetic resonance angiography revealed bilateral internal carotid artery hypoplasia with absence of flow in the anterior and middle cerebral arteries. Tc...
