چکیده
Patients and methods Since 2009, 5 patients were treated with spinal instrumentation with TIDRs. These were 4 female and 1 male patients with a mean age of 28 years (13-55 years) at surgery. Mean preoperative Cobb angle was 116 degrees. All patients had restricted pulmonary dysfunction. For all patients, 2-stage operation using temporary internal distraction was performed. In one case, anterior release followed by 2-stage operation with a temporary distraction rod was performed.

متن کاملEvaluation of Simultaneous Dual-radioisotope SPECT Imaging Using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose and 99mTc-tetrofosmin
Objective(s): Use of a positron emission tomography (PET)/single-photonemission computed tomography (SPECT) system facilitates the simultaneousacquisition of images with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) andtechnetium (99mTc)-tetrofosmin. However, 18F has a short half-life, and 511keV Compton-scattered photons are detected in the 99mTc energy window.Therefore, in this study, we aimed to ...
