Renal scintigraphy is a physio-functional exploration permitting the exploration and assertion of unilateral renal agenesis. We report the case of a patient followed for a right hydronephrosis having revealed an agenesis of the contralateral kidney confirmed by 99mTc-DMSA scintigraphy. Also 99mTc-DTPA scintigraphy allowed the evaluation of the permeability of the urinary tract of the single rig...

PURPOSE: The suitability of 99mTc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) and 99mTc-sulphur colloid (99mTc-SC) as tracers in gamma Scintigraphy for the evaluation of colon-specific drug delivery systems was assessed in healthy volunteers. METHOD: Sodium chloride core tablets containing either 99mTc-DTPA or 99mTcSC were prepared and compression coated with two different quantities of guar gum....

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a rare clinical entity characterized by multiple venous malformations (hemangiomas) of the skin and gastrointestinal tract. These hemangiomas usually cause episodes of occult gastrointestinal bleeding leading to iron deficiency anemia, and also carry a significant potential for serious hemorrhage. The 99mechnetium (99mTc)-labeled red blood cell scintig...

introduction:we evaluated the performance of muscle perfusion scan (mps) to assess muscle perfusion reserve (mpr) for prediction of incident diabetic foot ulcerations (dfu). methods: we recruited 41 diabetic patients without any history of dfu. five mci 99mtc-mibi was injected intravenously during repetitive dorsal and plantar right foot flexions. then posterior calves were imaged and the count...

PURPOSE To evaluate pulmonary epithelial permeability using 99mTc-DTPA scintigraphy in patients treated with bleomycin-containing regimens. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twelve non-smoking chemotherapy-naïve patients with no clinical or radiological evidence of pulmonary disease and treated with bleomycin-containing chemotherapy were tested with 99mTc-DTPA scintigraphy before the first cycle and every...
