This phase I study (NCT01539889) evaluated the safety, efficacy, and dosing of PulmoBind for molecular imaging of pulmonary circulation. PulmoBind is a ligand of the adrenomedullin receptor abundantly distributed in lung capillaries. Labeled with 99mTc, it allows single-photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) imaging of lung perfusion. In preclinical studies, PulmoBind scans enabled detect...

UNLABELLED According to the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) General Chapter <797> (USP <797>), "Pharmaceutical Compounding-Sterile Preparations," the compounding facility must be physically designed and environmentally controlled to minimize airborne contamination from contacting critical sites. The goal of the project was to evaluate the appropriateness and effectiveness of our approaches in ...

Background to discuss the clinical characteristics of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) with renal stones. Methods Clinical data 13 Patients diagnosed With Primary repeated stones during May. 2006 Oct. 2019 were analyzed retros Pectively. Results patients, 4 males, 9 females, 7 kidney stones, 3 ureteral and unilateral 6 bilateral cases rapid postoperative recurrence PHPT, ...

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...

About 14 years have passed since Fritzberg et al. developed 99mTc-MAG3 in 1986. The biological properties of this radiopharmaceutical are somewhat different from radioiodine labeled hippurate: it exhibits higher protein binding, slower blood clearance, higher extraction efficiency by tubular cells and larger excretion into the bile than the latter. Nonetheless, it has been widely used as the ag...

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...
