four patients with sonographic suggestion of hepatic hemangioma are studied with tc99m-labeled rbc scan. the scan findings are compaired with other imaging modalities. lesions as small as 36 mm could be detected by this method.tc99m labeled rbc scan is a valuable tool to differentiate hepatic hemangioma from other space occupying lesion of the liver.

UNLABELLED A variety of diagnostic tools including biochemistry, radiological imaging bone marrow studies and recently metabolic imaging with FDG PET are used for assessment of disease extent in myeloma. AIM To evaluate the role of metabolic imaging with Tc99m Sestamibi (Mibi) SPECT-CT in Multiple myeloma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients in various stages of Myeloma were scanned after 20mCi ...

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has several clinical manifestations on the base of bone marrow infiltration and the extent of extra medullary involvement. Anterior chest wall bulging as an initial presentation is rare. The aim of this case report study is to present a 3.5 year-old-boy presented with anterior chest wall bulging without history of trauma since 1 month ago. Tc99m-MDP bone scan ...

To assess cortical activity during pain perception, regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) studies were done in humans using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with the radiotracer Tc99m-HMPAO and magnetic resonance imaging localization. Normalized SPECT data were analyzed by region of interest and change distribution. Contralateral somatosensory rCBF was decreased when the digits ...

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the possible interference of a Nectandra membranacea extract (i) on the labeling of blood cells (BC), (ii) on the labeling process of BC and plasma (P) proteins with technetium-99m (Tc-99m) and (iii) on the morphology of red blood cells (RBC). Blood samples were incubated with a Nectandra membranacea crude extract, stannous chloride, Tc99m (sodium ...

Urinary leakage is a well-recognized complication of renal transplant surgery, which may lead to increased morbidity. In order to define clinical efficacy of renal scintigraphy in urinary leakages, we retrospectively reviewed 82 renal transplant patients with early scintigraphic exams in the current study. The clinical, scintigraphic and ultrasonographic findings were comparatively evaluated. S...
