A 61-year-old woman, in receipt of haemodialysis for 11 years, was diagnosed with a high-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder. Thallium-201 single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) was performed during the cancer work-up (Figure 1). Unenhanced CT images of the SPECT/CT demonstrated a left adrenal mass (31.7 mm in size) with a homogeneous d...

X-ray computed tomography (CT) has been used for diagnosis of pulmonary emphysema because it can reveal the morphology of low attenuation areas. Recently, 99mTc-Technegas imaging, one of several types of scintigraphic techniques, has been used for ventilation scintigraphy. Technegas scintigraphy was performed on 15 patients with pulmonary emphysema, and we compared the extent and degree of abno...

To determine the clinical value of radionuclide shuntography in the evaluation of adult hydrocephalic patients with suspected ventriculoperitoneal (V-P) shunt malfunction. All adult patients who underwent Tc-99m diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid shuntographic scans at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital between August 2005 and December 2015 were included. Shuntographic results were visually evaluat...

OBJECTIVE Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is characterised by increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion and consequently increased plasma calcium. During the last few decades parathyroid scintigraphy (PS), is applied in almost all patients with pPHT before surgery and specifically before minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. The aim of this study was to find the best cut-off levels of to...

Neuroendocrine tumors arise from cells that originate in the neural crest. Although these cells have a common embryological origin, they are distributed to various sites and organ systems throughout the body, where they can give rise to a variety of tumor types that are related by their common embryological origin. These cells share a characteristic feature of the ability to produce peptide hor...

A bifrontal and parasagittal epidural hematoma was detected on the brain scan. The scintigraphic appearance of this rare lesion is described.

This article reports an interesting case of frank epistaxis presenting as an incidental finding on Tc RBC scintigraphic evaluation of cavernous haemangioma in the liver.
