The Application of Radionuclide Infarct Scintigraphy

چکیده
To evaluate the application of radionuclide infarct scintigraphy to diagnose myocardial infarction after revascularization, we obtained postoperative technetium 99m pyrophosphate myocardial scintigrams, serial electrocardiograms and CPK-MB isoenzymes in ten control and 51 revascularized patients. All control patients had negative electrocardiograms and scintigrams, but eight had positive isoenzymes. Eight revascularized patients had positive electrocardiograms, images and enzymes and two had positive scinti-

متن کاملSternal nonunion on bone scintigraphy: a case report
Sternal non-union is a severe complication of sternotomy closure following open heart surgeries. Healing problems typically occur in 0.3% to 5% of patients. Technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) bone scintigraphy has been used to assess bone nonunion to predict the healing response for proper management. In this report, we present the case of a marked sternal nonunio...
متن کاملThe clinical estimation of acute myocardial infarct size with 99mTechnetium pyrophosphate scintigraphy.
We evaluated scintigraphic techniques in estimating infarct size. In 26 patients with acute transmural myocardial infarction, 99mTechnetium pyrophosphate (TcPYP) infarct scintigraphy, gated cardiac blood pool scintigraphy and 201-Thallium (201-Tl) perfusion scintigraphy were performed. Invasive hemodynamic measurements were obtained and serial venous blood specimens taken for measurement of tot...
متن کاملCombined Radionuclide Phlebography and V/Q scan in the assessment of iliac vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism – A case report establishing a cause and effect relationship
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is an important life threatening condition that is difficult to diagnose, particularly in the early stages. Looking for DVT in lower limb can be considered ancillary in suspected cases of pulmonary embolism (PE) indirectly highlighting a cause and effect relationship of a single disease (i.e cause being DVT and effect is the assault on the lung vasculature). Prompt an...
متن کاملAdvantages of technetium pyrophosphate scintigraphy over plasma enzyme analysis in estimation of anterior myocardial infarct size.
Infarct size was estimated by cumulative creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (CKMB-r) release and by technetium 99m stannous pyrophosphate (TcPYP) scintigraphy in 27 patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction. In eight patients, scintigraphy showed a central area of reduced tracer uptake surrounded by a peripheral rim of increased TcPYP accumulation ("doughnut" pattern). This appearance occurr...
