Tc-99m-Pertechnetate in evaluation of meckel's diverticulum [Persian]
author
Abstract:
Meckel's diverticulum is a common congenital disorder which may result in Gl bleeding. For definite diagnosis before surgery, radiographic procedures such as small intestine barium studies are not greatly successful; on the other hand Tc-99m-Pertechnetate imaging is a physiologic and noninvasive method with high sensitivity and specificity. In this report, three patients with rectorrhagia, who had positive Tc-99m-Pertechnetate studies but otherwise negative evaluations, are presented. The usefulness of isotopic procedures in evaluation of Meckel's diverticulum is reviewed.

Tc-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy is the modality of choice for diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum. Interpretation of Meckel's scan identifies a focal area of radiopharmaceutical uptake in the anterior abdomen similar to normal gastric mucosa. The activity must be of the same pattern and intensity as gastric uptake. We present a 13-year-old patient with gastrointest...

Tc-99m-EC is a new renal radiopharmaceutical introduced as an alternative for Tc-99m MAG3. Twenty-three normal volunteers and patients in different .stages of renal disease were evaluated with Te-99m EC and Tc-99m DTPA. The mean initial uptake of EC was significantly higher as compared to DTPA. There was a high correlation between rectangular and hand-drawn ROls for kidney and background,...

Tc-99m-MIBI is an isonrtrile derivative used for evaluation of myocardial perfusion in recent years. In this preliminary report, 7 patients with coronary artery disease are evaluated with Tc-99m-MlBl stress planar and sped studies. Good correlation with coronary angiography is observed in these cases. In view of inherent technical problems present with thallium 201, Tc-99m-MIBi is a good ...

full textDramatic movement of a Meckel's diverticulum on Tc-99m pertechnetate imaging.
Tc-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy is a standard procedure for diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum. It usually presents as a static abnormality in the midabdomen. We report a 17-year-old patient with severe lower gasterointestinal bleeding and anemia. On Tc-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy, focal abnormal activity was noted in the abdomen which was moving in the abdominal cavity. The patient underw...
