In this issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Gabriel et al. (1) report their experience with 68Ga-labeled 1,4,7,10tetraazacyclododecane-N,N9,N99,N999tetraacetic acid-D-Phe1-Tyr3-octreotide (68Ga-DOTA-TOC) PET in a series of 84 patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET). PET was more accurate with a higher detection rate than somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (using 111In-DOTA-TOC or 99mTc-...

Abstract In continuation of the study focused on synthesis and structure mimics active site [FeFe] hydrogenase enzyme, reaction Fe 3 (CO) 12 with cyclopropyl ferrocenyl thioketone 1 was carried out. Two different complexes ring‐opened fragments were isolated identified as η 4 ‐1‐thia‐1,3‐diene‐type mononuclear tricarbonyl iron complex 2 ‐acyl‐type hexacarbonyl diiron , respectively. Structures ...

Background. Topical diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) remains an urgent problem due to the high incidence persistence and recurrence after surgical treatment. At preoperative stage, a search for parathyroid hormone hyperproduction source is performed using instrumental methods: ultrasound, scintigraphy glands (PTG) multislice computed tomography (MSCT). The cause PHPT parathyroide...

Purpose: To demonstrate a rare clinical case of early recurrence verified primary genital lymphoma and the possibility 99mTc-1-Thio-D-glucose (99mTc-TG) SPECT/CT using to brain metastasis diagnosis. Material methods: A patient with diagnosis diffuse large B-cell underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assess extent disease. Post-treatment follow-up included 18F-FDG PET/CT. diagnose metastasi...

Highly efficient photoswitching tetranuclear rhenium(I) tricarbonyl diimine complexes with a stilbene-like bridging ligand are reported. The ability to directly populate excited states localized on the bridging ligand is the key for the observed efficient photoisomerization.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The brain distribution of 9mTc-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (HMPAO) correlates with regional brain perfusion, whereas 99mTc-ethyl cysteinate dimer (ECD) reflects not only perfusion but also the metabolic status of brain tissue. We compared 99mTc-ECD single-photon emission CT (SPECT) with 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT early after recanalization by local intraarterial thrombolysis (L...

This first clinical prospective study was conducted to use of technetium-99m immunoglobulin G (99mTc-IgG) as compared with autologous 99mTc-red blood cells (RBC) in gated blood pool ventriculography. We studied 12 patients who referred to us for a possible diagnosis of liver hemangioma or infection. Six patients underwent gated planar blood pool (GPBP) acquisition using 99mTc-RBC and 6 GPBP acq...

BACKGROUND Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a phospholipid normally located in the inner leaflet of the cell membrane. PS is translocated from the inner to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane during the early stages of apoptosis and in necrosis. In cell and animal studies, reversible PS externalisation to the outer membrane leaflet has been observed in viable cells. Hence, PS markers have been p...
