objective(s): to review the findings of the patients with sjögren’s syndrome (ss) having technetium-99m-pertechnetate (99mtc-pertechnetate) and gallium-67 citrate (ga-67) salivary gland scintigraphy in the past eight years.methods: the patients with ss, who were referred to our department for salivary gland scintigraphy during january 2008-december 2015 were studied using both 99mtc-pertechneta...

we report a three-phase bone scintigraphy for the diagnosis of a peripheral bone lesion caused by systemic sarcoidosis. a 32-year-old man with suspected osteomyelitis of the right forefinger underwent three-phase bone scintigraphy with tc-99m hydroxymethylene diphosphonate (hmdp) and single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (spect/ct). the lesion was rich in blood flow acc...

Introduction: In this study the automatic separation of oral and salivary gland activity and spontaneous secretion by means of factor analysis for quantitative salivary gland scintigraphy is introduced. Methods: After intravenous administration of 99mTc sodium pertechnetate, dynamic scintigraphy was performed. 20 minutes after tracer application 2 ml of lemon juice was delivered to stimulate t...

A. Aerosol Ventilation Scintigraphy A diagnostic imaging test that records the bronchopulmonary distribution of an inhaled radioactive aerosol within the lungs. B. Gas Ventilation Scintigraphy A diagnostic imaging test that records the pulmonary distribution of a radioactive gas during breathing maneuvers. C. Pulmonary Perfusion Scintigraphy A diagnostic imaging test that records the distributi...

UNLABELLED We evaluated the clinical utility of positive somatostatin receptor scintigraphy in patients with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). METHODS Twenty-four MTC patients with increased calcitonin levels underwent somatostatin receptor scintigraphy using 111In-pentetreotide (120-200 MBq) with early (4 hr after injection) and delayed (24 hr) whole-body scans and liver SPECT imaging. In Grou...

background: bilateral neck exploration is the gold standard for parathyroid adenoma localization in primary hyperparathyroidism. but surgeons do not have adequate experience for accurate surgical exploration and new methods are developed for surgery like unilateral exploration and minimally invasive surgery, thus, preoperative localization could reduces time and stress in surgical performance. ...
