The present research aimed to characterize the potential efficiency of deferasirox in removing thallium after its administration for 30 days following two dose levels of 20 and 160 μm of thallium (III) chloride to male Wistar rats every day. After thallium administration some abnormal clinical signs such as red staining around the eyes, greenish mottling on the liver, weakness, loss of hair and...
BACKGROUND Because thallium reinjection enhances the identification of viable myocardium, many laboratories have adopted the routine practice of performing reinjection imaging instead of 3-4-hour redistribution imaging. This approach assumes that the stress-reinjection protocol provides the necessary information regarding both exercise-induced ischemia and myocardial viability. Because apparent...
Attention has recently focussed on the heavy metal thallium as an environmental contaminant of increasing importance. From accidental or suicidal ingestions of thallium it has been known for many years that cardiovascular disorders regularly emerge, and for this reason, a variety of investigations of cardiological interest have been conducted. Amongst these, the effects of thallium on the contr...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Thallium-201 single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) can be used to detect primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCCA) of the head and neck. Nevertheless, there have very few studies performed to evaluate the ability of thallium-201 to depict recurrent SCCA. The purpose of this study was to compare the ability of thallium-201 SPECT with CT to enable detection of rec...
OBJECTIVE To determine the accuracy of thallium 201 single-photon emission computed tomography (thallium SPECT) and computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging (CT/MRI) in the detection of occult primary tumors of the head and neck. DESIGN Study of diagnostic tests. SETTING National Cancer Institute, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-two patients with a nec...
Background. Thallium reinjection immediately after stress-redistribution imaging identifies ischemic but viable myocardium in as many as 50%o of the regions characterized by conventional redistribution imaging as irreversibly injured. However, we have previously shown that some regions in which irreversible defects persist despite reinjection are metabolically active, and hence viable, by posit...
Background—New high-energy collimators for single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) cameras have made imaging of positron-emitting tracers, such as [F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), possible. We examined differences between SPECT and PET technologies and between FDG and thallium tracers to determine whether FDG SPECT could be adopted for assessment of myocardial viability. Methods and Resu...
After a 4-minute i.v. dipyridamole infusion, 0.14 mg/kg/min, serial thallium-201 scans were obtained in 60 patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. Forty patients had significant (greater than or equal to 50% stenosis) coronary artery disease (CAD), and 20 patients had normal coronary arteries or trivial lesions. The images were graded qualitatively for thallium activity by three observers....
The respective importance of flow and cellular viability in determining initial myocardial thallium uptake was studied in reperfused and nonreperfused experimental myocardial infarction. Open-chest dogs were subjected to permanent coronary artery occlusion of 70-minute (n = 3) or 5-hour duration (n = 5), or to a 3-hour temporary occlusion followed by reflow (n = 14). Thallium uptake 10 minutes ...
The placental transfer of thallium cations in pregnant mice was investigated by determining the thallium concentrations in fetal and maternal tissue 0.5 to 24 h after application of thallium. The maternal dose of thallium was 8 mg/kg body weight throughout. Uterus and fetus were found not to differ from other organs like heart and liver in time course and magnitude of thallium uptake with an in...
