Evaluation of technetium-99m-sestamibi lung uptake: correlation with left ventricular function.
UNLABELLED Lung uptake of 201Tl is a reliable marker of left ventricular dysfunction. The goal of our study was to establish whether the evaluation of lung-to-heart uptake ratios (LHR) with 99mTc-sestamibi imaging may provide valuable information. METHODS We studied 72 male subjects with recent anterior myocardial infarction undergoing 99mTc-sestamibi first-pass ventriculography and SPECT per...
متن کاملDetection of focal myeloma lesions by technetium-99m-sestaMIBI scintigraphy.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The tracer tachnetium-99m-2-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (Tc99m-sestaMIBI) has recently been shown to concentrate in some neoplastic tissues, including myeloma. We investigated the diagnostic capacity and limits of this procedure in tracing focal myeloma lesions, and compared them with those of conventional radiological procedures (Xr). DESIGN AND METHODS We studied 55...

bone involvement. Destruction is mediated through normal osteoclasts, which respond to local osteoclast-activating microenvironment [7]. Technetium-99m 2methoxyisobutylisonitrile (TC-99m MIBI) is a lipophilic agent that accumulates within living malignant cells due to the higher transmembrane electrical potential as a consequence of the higher metabolic rate than in the surrounding normal cells...

Objective: Technetium-99m-sestamibi (-1"'Tc-MIBI) is a radiopharmaceutical imaging agent useful for assessing myocardial perfusion. We present a simple, rapid and accurate SepPak® method to confirm the radiochemical purity of "'Tc-MIBI. Methods: Technetium-99m-MIBI preparations of high (>95%), intermediate (83-90%) and low (25-43%) radiochemical purity were evaluated by the recommended thinlaye...
