introduction: although pet scanning using f-18[fdg] is considered the superior radiotracer for tumnor imaging, gallium-67 is still in use for some malignancies such as lymphoma and hepatoma. one of the strategies to improve the diagnostic accuracy of gallium is to perform spect which is reported to be more sensitive compared to planar imaging. in this study we compared the sensitivity of spect ...

This study aimed to evaluate the performance of a therapeutic vibrating mesh-type nebulizer for pulmonary delivery radioaerosols lung scintigraphy in healthy subjects. Six subjects (mean age 28.7 ± 6.2 years) inhaled 2 mL Tc-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid and normal saline solution (20 mCi) via (DK010, DELBio, Taipei, Taiwan). The nebulizer’s mass median aerodynamic diameter was between...

introduction: appendicitis is one of the most common surgical emergencies. in spite of the relatively high rate of negative appendectomy, as a result of miss diagnosis, uncertainty of diagnosis still continues to challenge physicians. the objective of this prospective study was to investigate the role of 99mtc-ubiquicidin (ubi) scintigraphy in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and to compare ...

PURPOSE To compare MR with thallium-201 scintigraphy in the follow-up of patients who have undergone thyroidectomy and modified radical neck dissection for differentiated thyroid cancer. METHODS Both MR imaging and 201Tl scintigraphy were performed in 39 patients after surgery for differentiated thyroid cancer. Ten patients did not have recurrence; 29 patients had 51 recurrent tumors in the n...

the correlation of vesicoureteral reflux (vur), urinary tract infection (uti) and renal scarring is well known. several risk factors for renal parenchymal lesions have been reported previously. we determine the incidence of renal parenchymal damage and outcome in the siblings of children with primary vur. a total of 96 siblings of patients with vur, were evaluated with direct voiding cystograph...

The encapsulation of polyoxometalates within the large pores of the Zr(iv) biphenyldicarboxylate UiO-67 metal-organic framework has been achieved, for the first time, by direct solvothermal synthesis. The resulting POM@UiO-67 composite materials were fully characterized by XRPD, IR, MAS NMR, N2 porosimetry measurements and cyclic voltammetry.

INTRODUCTION Splenosis represents the heterotopic autotransplantation of splenic tissue after a traumatic splenic rupture and splenectomy. It is not a rare condition and it is estimated to occur in up to 67% of patients with traumatic splenic rupture. CASE REPORT We report one case of patient, affected by non alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), with a hypervascularised liver lesion, that the fi...
