thallium - 201 imaging in osseous metastatic disease secondary to glioblastoma multiform
Authors
abstract
thallium 201 whole body scintigraphy was performed in a 30 year old patient with diffuse osseous metastatic disease secondary to glioblastoma multiforme. multiple sites of thallium uptake correlated with the findings on serial bone scans and radiographs. bone biopsy of a lower lumbar vertebra confirmed that the metastases were of glial origin.

full textThallium--201 myocardial imaging in Kawasaki disease.
Myocardial imaging using thallium-201 was performed in patients with Kawasaki disease. In two patients whose ECGs showed ischemic changes, the scintiscan demonstrated an area with diminished radioactivity at the site corresponding to electrocardiographic localization of the infarction. Thallium-201 myocardial imaging is useful in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction not only in adults but als...

The sensitivity of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using thallium-201 injected both at rest and during peak exercise was compared to simultaneously recorded 12 lead electrocardiography (ECG) for the detection of transient ischemia in 20 normal subjects and 63 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). No significant perfusion defects or ECG changes were seen on either the rest or exercise ...

Following intravenous administration, the myocardial concentration of tracer thallium-201, potassium-43, and rubidium-81 were determined in mice; thallium was present in the greatest concentration in the myocardium (2.08% compared 1.25% for potassium and 1.15% for rubidium at 10 minutes). The regional myocardial distribution of thallium-201 was determined in dogs under conditions of normal flow...

To assess the potential effect of hypertension on the results of thallium-201 stress imaging in patients with chest pain, 272 thallium-201 stress tests performed in 133 hypertensive patients and 139 normotensive patients over a 1-year period were reviewed. Normotensive and hypertensive patients were similar in age, gender distribution, prevalence of cardiac risk factors (tobacco smoking, hyperl...
full textSerial Myocardial Imaging after a Single Dose of Thallium-201
Although thallium-201 exercise scintigraphy has been established for the detection of myocardial ischemia and viability, little is known regarding the myocardial thallium-201 kinetics during angioplasty. Herein, we report a 77-year old man with angina pectoris, in whom serial myocardial imaging after a single dose of thallium-201 was helpful in identifying not only the culprit lesion and myocar...
