background: cardiac risk assessment with myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi) is a common practice for some elderly breast cancer patients who are candidates for operation. in rare cases the tumor may become visible in the images. case presentation: this is the report of a case with a huge slow-growing breast tumor suspicious for malignancy and presenting with methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (mibi) u...
a discrete mibi avid lung lesion was found in cinematic views of myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi) of a 59 year-old woman. interestingly, the abnormal uptake in the lung was detectable only in the rest phase images and not in the images acquired in the stress phase. mpi was performed for pre-operation cardiac risk assessment before correction surgery for spinal canal stenosis. she had no past...
amyloidosis is characterized by an abnormal extracellular deposition of amyloid in different organs, where it usually causes some type of dysfunction. its cause is unknown. five different types of amyloidosis have been described according to the underlying disease; immunoglobulin amyloidosis, familial amyloidosis, senile systemic amyloidosis, secondary amyloidosis and hemodialysis-associated am...
The lipophilic cationic radiotracer (99m)Tc-sestamibi, known to be concentrated within mitochondria, is widely used for myocardial perfusion and to a lesser extent for muscle metabolism imaging. However, the exact distribution pattern in skeletal muscle has not been yet studied in detail. The present study aims to investigate the (99m)Tc-sestamibi uptake in rat skeletal muscle and myocardium in...
BACKGROUND The heart requires constant sources of energy mostly from free fatty acids (FFA) and glucose. The alteration in myocardial substrate metabolism occurs in the heart of diabetic patients, but its specific association with other metabolic variables remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate glucose uptake in hearts of subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), prediabetes, and type 2 diab...
conclusions we showed that patients with metabolic syndrome have larger infarct size compared to control subjects. background infarct size is an important surrogate end point for early and late mortality after acute myocardial infarction. despite the high prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with atherosclerotic diseases, adequate data are still lacking regarding the extent of myocardia...
bilateral diffuse intense breast uptake was noted in a 40 year old female who was evaluated with tc-99m sestamibi (mibi) myocardial perfusion scan for possible ischemia. she was breast feeding her 1.5 year old child. the intense uptake in the breasts was superimposed on the apical and anteroapical regions of the myocardium and caused interpretation problem. we recommend considering tc-99m mibi ...
Objective(s): We aimed to assess the association between blood pressure and LV myocardial uptake of FDG, hypothesizing that subjects with raised blood pressure would have higher FDG uptake. Methods: We analyzed 86 healthy controls who underwent PET/CT imaging 180 minutes following FDG (4 MBq/Kg) administration. LV myocardial analysis was perf...
myocardial ischemia (mi) resulting in infarction is an important cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. acute ischaemia rapidly impairs myocardial contractile function. myocardial dysfunction persisting for several hours after transient non-lethal ischaemia, eventually resulting in full functional recovery is termed as myocardial stunning. hibernation is now thought to be the consequence o...
BACKGROUND Animal studies have demonstrated reduced myocardial glucose utilization in the diabetic heart, suggesting abnormalities in glucose transport. This study was designed to evaluate myocardial glucose uptake as assessed by 2-fluoro-(fluorine-18)2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) and positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) under standardized met...
