Scintigraphic detection of peptic lesions with the method of radiolabelled sucralfate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sucralfate, a complex polyaluminium hydroxide salt of polysulphated sucrose, is used in medical treatment of peptic disease as a coating agent that provides a protective barrier to further damage from acid and pepsin. Its actions are principally local and at acid pH becomes highly polar and binds by way of strong electrostatic interaction to ulcer tissue for up to 12 hours, while relatively little binds to intact gastric or duodenal mucosa.1 Radiol Oncol 2003; 37(1): 9-12.

Dynamic radionuclide imaging with 99mTc-sucralfate in the detection of oesophageal ulceration.
Standard oesophageal scintigraphic techniques using 99mTc-colloids rarely identify oesophageal mucosal damage. Sucralfate can be labelled with 99mTc for the detection of oesophageal mucosal ulceration. This method uses two separate supine swallows of 10 MBq 99mTc-colloid in 10 ml, followed by a single supine swallow of 30 MBq 99mTc-sucralfate. The data are processed to give time-activity curves...
متن کاملA comparison between therapeutic effect of topical Sucralfate and topical Tetracycline mouthwash suspension in recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis
Background: The current treatments of recurrent aphthous stomatitis are not very effective and are not justified for long term using due to their potential side effects. Objective: To compare the efficacy of topical sucralfate mouthwash with topical tetracycline mouthwash in recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Patients and Methods: In a randomized matched clinical trial, 60 patients with recur...
متن کاملImaging of bronchial carcinoid tumours with indium - 1 1 1
Neuroendocrine tumours are characterised by the expression of high affinity binding sites for somatostatin. The detection of bronchial carcinoid tumours through scintigraphic imaging is described in two patients using the novel radiolabelled somatostatin analogue indium-111 pentetreotide. (Thorax 1994;49:284-286) Large numbers of high affinity somatostatin binding sites have been found on most ...

Osteitis fibrosa cystica is the classic patognomonic form of skeletal disease in hyperparathyroidism that characterizes with decreased cortical bone thickness compared to increased cancellous bone. We present a case of 52-year old female patient with osteolysis of the left calf on radiographic images. The bone scan detected multiple focal pathological accumulations in the skull, left tibia, bot...
