Technetium-99m-tetrofosmin imaging of lung cancer: relationship with histopathology.
Tc-99m-tetrofosmin is an agent to delineate cancer. To elucidate the usefulness of Tc-99m-tetrofosmin scintigraphy, we analyzed the relationship between the uptake of Tc-99m-tetrofosmin and histopathology in patients with lung cancer. SPECT studies were conducted twice: 15 minutes (early scan), and 60 minutes (delayed scan), after intravenous injection of 740 MBq Tc-99m-tetrofosmin. We calculat...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion imaging with technetium-99m-Tc NOET: comparison with thallium-201 and coronary angiography.
UNLABELLED We compared TcN-NOET [bis(N-ethoxy, N-ethyl dithiocarbamato)nitrido 99mTc] and 201Tl images to estimate the utility of this compound in the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS Twenty-five patients undergoing cardiac catheterization had stress-redistribution-reinjection 201Tl SPECT imaging, stress-delayed (2, 4 and 6 hr postinjection) and rest-delayed (4 hr postinjec...
متن کاملComparison of technetium-99m tetrofosmin and thallium-201 single-photon emission computed tomographic imaging for detection of myocardial perfusion defects in patients with coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVES We compared dipyridamole technetium-99m (Tc-99m) tetrofosmin and thallium-201 (Tl-201) single-photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) imaging with respect to the detection rate of perfusion abnormalities in 26 patients with angiographic coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND Experimental studies have shown that myocardial extraction of Tc-99m tetrofosmin is lower than that ...
متن کاملQuantitative rest technetium-99m tetrofosmin imaging in predicting functional recovery after revascularization: comparison with rest-redistribution thallium-201.
OBJECTIVES This study was undertaken to 1) compare the regional myocardial tracer distributions between rest technetium (Tc)-99m tetrofosmin and rest-redistribution thallium (Tl)-201 images in patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction; and 2) assess the comparative values of these agents for predicting functional recovery after revascularization. BACKGROUND Tc-99m...
متن کاملImaging of Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor (PNET) by Technetium-99m Tetrofosmin
Purpose. Tc-99m tetrofosmin launched for myocardial studies has recently also shown a good detectability for several tumors. Data on PNET imaging by Tc-99m tetrofosmin are not yet available.Patient and method. In the case of a 21-year-old man suffering from pelvis PNET, Tc-99m tetrofosmin scintigraphy was performed additionally to CT and MRI.Results. The gluteal and iliac tumor masses were visu...
