[ 1 ] - Treatment efficacy of 153Sm-EDTMP for painful bone metastasis
Introduction: Involvement of the skeleton can cause an excruciating pain in two-thirds of terminal patients with a history of malignancy. Due to several limitations of other therapies, such as analgesics, bisphosphonates, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and external beam radiotherapy; bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals have an important role in palliation of pain from bone metastases. Although th...
[ 2 ] - The Iranian Society of Nuclear Medicine practical guideline on radioligand therapy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer using 177Lu-PSMA
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type II transmembrane protein, which is anchored in the cell membrane of prostate epithelial cells. It is highly expressed on prostate epithelial cells and strongly up-regulated in prostate cancer. Although, 177Lu-PSMA has been recently introduced for radionuclide therapy of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with co...
[ 3 ] - Nano Liposomes labeled with 99mTc-HMPAO, A Novel Agent for Blood Pool Imaging
In-vitro labeling of RBC with 99mTc is an intricate procedure and there is always a need foran alternate blood pool imaging agent. The aim of this study was to prepare an effective nanosized liposome (NLs) similar to human RBC for blood pool scintigraphy. This study formulatesPEG-NLs and non-PEG-NLs using film method plus high pressure homogenization technique.Biodistribution studies were perfo...
[ 4 ] - The Role of Nuclear Medicine in The Diagnosis and Management of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules
Solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is a frequent finding on the chest x-ray and computed tomography. Nuclear medicine techniques play an important role in the diagnosis and management of SPN. In the current review, we briefly will explain the different nuclear medicine modalities in this regard including positron emission tomography (PET) using 18-F-FDG, and 11-C-Methionine, and single photon em...

[ 6 ] - Meningioma: A false positive finding of metastasis from prostate adenocarcinoma using 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan
A 73-year-old man with history of prostatic adenocarcinoma radical prostatectomy underwent 99mTc-MDP whole-body bone scan and subsequent 68Ga-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand PET/CT for restaging due to a gradual rise of prostate-specific antigen levels. Whole-body bone scan showed two focal zones of slightly increased uptake in the right fronto-par...
[ 7 ] - Pancake kidney: An unusual type of renal fusion anomaly found in 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy
A 2.5-year-old boy with a history of the previous incidental finding of an ectopic kidney in ultrasonography was referred to our nuclear medicine center for 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy. The scan showed an unusual type of ectopic fused kidneys on the right side of the lower abdomen. In this anomaly, kidneys were fused completely across the medial portion of both upper and lower pole...
[ 8 ] - Detection of solitary bone metastasis by 99mTc-octreotide scintigraphy in a patient with Hurthle cell carcinoma: A case report
A 75-year-old male patient with non-avid radioiodine Hurthle cell carcinoma was evaluated by 99m Tc- octreotide scintigraphy, in order to find possible metastatic lesions. A bony metastatic lesion was detected by this procedure which was confirmed by histopathology.99mTc-octreotide scintigraphy is a precise and cost-effective imaging modality for detection of non-iodine av...
[ 9 ] - Breast metastasis from the pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor origin detected by 99mTc-Octreotate scan
A 50 years old woman with history of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor diagnosed 2 years ago, which has not been surgically removed,was referred to our department for a 99mTc-Octreotate in order to evaluate the somatostatin receptor status. She was treated with regular sandostatin injections and chemotherapy. Her CT scan which was previously performed confirmed lung, adrenal and hepati...
[ 10 ] - [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT for staging and patient management of high-risk prostate cancer: A single-center experience from Iran
Introduction: Accurate staging plays an important role in management of patients with prostate cancer especially in high-risk group. Today, [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT should be considered as the preferred imaging tool for treatment planning and initial staging of the disease. Methods: A total number of 628 patients with prostate cancer referred to...
