persistent sub-diaphragmatic activity on the myocardial perfusion scan with 99mtc-sestamibi

چکیده
we present a female patient with atypical chest pain who was referred to our department for ischemia evaluation. 99mtc-mibi myocardial perfusion scan with dipyridamole stress was performed. sub-diaphragmatic activity in the hepatic tissue and then in the bowel loops caused severe overlap on the inferior wall even on consecutive delayed images. dipyridamole stress was repeated for the patient with 201tl. the study was interpretable this time without any interfering sub-diaphragmatic activity.

متن کاملBenefits of combined pharmacologic and submaximal exercise stress on Sub-diaphragmatic activity in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy
Introduction: Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is an important imaging modality in managing patients with cardiovascular disease. MPI has a significant role in diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease; however it is subjected to different artifacts. Combining pharmacologic stress with submaximal exercise reduces side effects, improves image quality, and enhances the...
متن کاملFilter selection for 99mTc-Sestamibi myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging [Persian]
Myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging with Tc99m-sestamibi is the most accurate non-invasive means of detecting coronary artery disease and assessing the severity of perfusion abnormalities in the patients with coronary stenosis. Though simple and straight forward the results produced by the technique is very much affected by the details being used. One of the main problems with the test, wh...
متن کاملIncidental Detection of Thyroid Neoplasm on 99mTc-SestaMIBI Myocardial Perfusion Scan - A Novel Tumour Tracer Revisted
We report a case of a young Indian male who had an incidental abnormal focal uptake of 99mTechnetium-MIBI (Methoxy Isobutyl Isonitrile) in the right lobe of thyroid while undergoing 99mTc-MIBI myocardial perfusion gated SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) imaging as a part of his myocardial ischemia status evaluation. This focal uptake was eventually detected to be a malignant th...
متن کاملLarge abdominal photopenic area on 99mTc-sestamibi myocardial perfusion imaging.
(99m)Tc-sestamibi myocardial perfusion imaging is frequently performed in conjunction with exercise or pharmacologic stress testing for evaluation of coronary heart disease. Interpretation of these studies includes systematic review of unprocessed rotating projectional images for evaluation of cardiac size as well as the presence of motion or attenuation artifacts. Occasionally, incidental nonc...
