The author reports a rare case of brachial plexus infiltration by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. T2-weighted MRI showed high signal intensity along the right brachial plexus and soft tissue masses. Ga-67 scintigraphy showed abnormal tracer uptake along the course of the right brachial plexus, and was superior to MRI in detecting the abnormality.

To study the value of the electrocardiogram in diagnosing right ventricular involvement in acute inferior wall myocardial infarction, the electrocardiographic findings were analysed in 67 patients who had had scintigraphy to pin-point the infarct. All 67 patients were consecutively admitted because of an acute inferior wall infarction. A 12 lead electrocardiogram with four additional right prec...

Incidental extra-osseous uptake of 99mTc-MDP on bone scintigraphy has been frequently reported in the literature; however, calcification of the psoas muscle is a rare condition, which has been reported on magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) imagings. Here we report a 67-year-old woman with acute paraplegia and low back pain who was referred for a 99mTc-MDP...

To determine the relation between scintigraphic regions of stress-induced ischaemia and subsequent myocardial infarction, a select group of 21 patients was investigated. Each patient had undergone stress perfusion scintigraphy before myocardial infarction was recorded. After acute infarction, thallium-201 perfusion scintigraphy was performed in 16 patients (76%) and 99mTc (stannous) pyrophospha...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of serum C reactive protein (CRP) as a marker of erosive osteoarthritis (EOA) of the hand. METHODS Ninety eight patients, 67 with EOA and 31 with non-EOA of the hand, were included in the study and analysed for radiographic score (RS), number of erosions, and joint count (JC) at clinical observation and at bone scintigraphy. CRP was assayed in a serum sample...
