the evaluation of functioning thyroid nodules using sodium pertechnetate tc-99m scan in comparison with iodine-131
نویسندگان
چکیده
thyroid scintigraphy has been helpful in detecting and evaluation of thyroid nodules. sodium pertechnetate tc-99m is the most commonly used radionuclide for thyroid imaging because of its general availability, favorable dosimetric characteristics and low cost. but, there are reports of occasional disparity in isotope uptake in lesions compared with radioiodide. in order to determine percentage and clinical significance of this disparity, we screened 101 patients with solitary functioning nodules using sodium pertechnetate tc-99m in comparison with subsequent iodine-131 scan in research institute for nuclear medicine. we conclude that sodium pertechnetate tc-99m is a reliable radiotracer for the detection and evaluation of thyroid nodules and there is no need for the subsequent iodine-131 scan.

متن کاملPercutaneous microwave ablation of thyroid nodules: efficacy evaluation with 99m Tc - pertechnetate and 99mTc-MIBI functional imaging
Background: Local ablative treatments play an important role for patients who cannot be treated surgically. Radiofrequency ablation is a well-established alternative to surgical treatment of thyroid nodules, however it also has disadvantages. Microwave ablation (MWA) is a new minimally invasive treatment promising several improvements. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the eff...
متن کاملMetastatic insular thyroid carcinoma: visualized on Tc-99m pertechnetate, Tc-99m MDP and iodine-131 scintigraphy; a review of the literature for other radionuclide agents.
Poorly differentiated insular thyroid carcinoma is classified as a separate entity among other tumors of the thyroid gland. Its histological pattern and clinical course are regarded as intermediate between well-differentiated and anaplastic thyroid cancer. The authors report Tc-99m pertechnetate, Tc-99m MDP and radioiodine imaging features in a 33-year-old male patient with metastatic insular c...
متن کاملTc-99m-Pertechnetate in evaluation of meckel's diverticulum [Persian]
Meckel's diverticulum is a common congenital disorder which may result in Gl bleeding. For definite diagnosis before surgery, radiographic procedures such as small intestine barium studies are not greatly successful; on the other hand Tc-99m-Pertechnetate imaging is a physiologic and noninvasive method with high sensitivity and specificity. In this report, three patients with rectorrhagia...

Tc-99m-EC is a new renal radiopharmaceutical introduced as an alternative for Tc-99m MAG3. Twenty-three normal volunteers and patients in different .stages of renal disease were evaluated with Te-99m EC and Tc-99m DTPA. The mean initial uptake of EC was significantly higher as compared to DTPA. There was a high correlation between rectangular and hand-drawn ROls for kidney and background,...
