Persistent Sub - diaphragmatic Activity on the Myocardial Perfusion Scan with 99 mTc - Sestamibi
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a female patient with atypical chest pain who was referred to our department for ischemia evaluation. Tc-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 Tl. The study was interpretable this time without any interfering sub-diaphragmatic activity.

متن کاملDetermination of Uterus Absorbed Dose by Patients following Myocardial Perfusion Scan using TLD and Conjugate View Methods
Introduction: The determination of patient’s absorbed dose is the first step of radiation protection which depends on the quantification of organ activity in nuclear medicine. The aim of the present study was to determine the absorbed dose by patient’s uterus following myocardial perfusion scan with 99mTC-sestamibi using Theroluminescnce dosimetry (TLD) and conjugate-view metho...
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 کاملDiffuse bilateral breast uptake on the myocardial perfusion SPECT of a nursing female
Bilateral diffuse intense breast uptake was noted in a 40 year old female who was evaluated with Tc-99m sestamibi (MIBI) myocardial perfusion scan for possible ischemia. She was breast feeding her 1.5 year old child. The intense uptake in the breasts was superimposed on the apical and anteroapical regions of the myocardium and caused interpretation problem. We recom...
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...
