Introduction: Radiation-induced cardiovascular damage is a potential side effect of radiation therapy in patients with left-sided breast cancer. This prospective study compares the severity and reversibility of perfusion and functional abnormalities before, and six months after, 3D-Conformal radiation therapy treatment in left-side breast cancer patients with conventional and h...

Testicular scintigraphy has been well validated in the evaluation of patients with suspected testicular torsion and provides an accurate evaluation of testicular perfusion at the lime of imaging. However, the presence of normal or increased perfusion to the testis does not definitively exclude the necessity for surgical intervention. A case of intermittent testicular torsion, with a revie...

conclusion ped software of dual-source ct combined with perfusion imaging can significantly improve the detection rate of peripheral pulmonary embolism. results ctpa images revealed 50 (7.81%) segmental and 56 (4.38%) sub-segmental pulmonary embolisms, while the ped images showed 68 (10.63%) segmental and 94 (7.34%) sub-segmental pulmonary embolisms. thus, the detection rate on ped images for p...

nuclear medicine imaging is routinely used for evaluation of perfusion and function of the transplanted kidneys. at present, the radiopharmaceutical of choice for this study in our center is tc 99m-ec. complications of the kidney graft are demonstrable in the early and delayed images. one of these complications is vesicoureteral reflux to the graft or to the native kidneys. we present a 27 year...

A 67 years old woman was referred to nuclear medicine center for myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) for assessment of ischemic heart dieses (IHD).She had a history of atypical chest pain and dyspnea since about 10 days before admission. The MPI SPECT/CT was performed by stress/redistribution Tl-201 protocol. MPI was interpreted as relatively good coronary flow with no appreciable stress induced...

Introduction: This study evaluated the diagnostic value of the dipyridamole induced electrocardiuogram (ECG) cahnges, comparing with myocardial perfusion imaging. Materials and Methods: 222 patinets were studied with dipyridamole infusion (based on ECG criteria) as well as Dipyridamole-myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Results: Abnormal dipyridamole test and abnormal MPI were noted in 1...
