Technetium-99m Methylene Diphosphonate Single-photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography of the Foot and Ankle
The complex anatomy and function of the foot and ankle can make it difficult to determine the cause of symptoms in patients with foot and ankle pathology. Following initial clinical and radiographic assessment, additional imaging with magnetic resonance imaging may be required, which is often seen as the modality of choice. Although sensitive to pathological changes in bone metabolism and vascu...
متن کاملLong-term prognostic value of exercise technetium-99m tetrofosmin myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography
BACKGROUND Exercise (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a useful tool for short- and medium-term risk stratifications. Currently, the long-term prognostic application of this technique has not been evaluated. METHODS AND RESULTS Exercise (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin was performed in 655 consecutive patients. Ten patients who underwent revascularization <60 days af...
متن کاملQuantitative single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography for technetium pertechnetate thyroid uptake measurement
OBJECTIVES Technetium pertechnetate (TcO4) is a radioactive tracer used to assess thyroid function by thyroid uptake system (TUS). However, the TUS often fails to deliver accurate measurements of the percent of thyroid uptake (%thyroid uptake) of TcO4. Here, we investigated the usefulness of quantitative single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) after injection o...
متن کاملUsefulness of electrocardiographic-gated stress technetium-99m sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography to differentiate ischemic from nonischemic cardiomyopathy.
The noninvasive differentiation between ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy is frequently difficult. We examined the clinical value of stress electrocardiographic gated (ECG-gated) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to identify ischemic cardiomyopathy and detect coronary artery disease (CAD) in 164 patients without known CAD, ejection fraction < or =40% by ECG-gated SPECT, a...
متن کاملValue of gating of technetium-99m sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomographic imaging.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine how frequently and for what reasons the addition of electrocardiographically gated technetium-99m (Tc-99m) sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) images add value to nongated SPECT perfusion images. BACKGROUND Electrocardiographic gating of Tc-99m sestamibi SPECT images permits assessment of regional and global left ...
