in this study, l-131-mibg imaging was performed in 44 patients with clinical suspicion of tumors originating from neuro-endocrine system. the patients were referred to our department following plasma and urinary measurement of epinephrine, norepinehrine and vanilmandelic acidfvma). radionuclide imaging was performel as a comparative or confirmatory measure in all patients who had previous abdom...

abstract men-i is a rare genetic disorder classically characterized by a predisposition to tumors of the parathyroid glands, anterior pituitary gland, and pancreatic islet cells. we present a case of men-i syndrome diagnosed using predominantly nuclear medicine imaging followed by radionuclide therapy, thus emphasizing the role of nuclear imaging in diagnosing and treating men-i.

In this study, l-131-MIBG imaging was performed in 44 patients with clinical suspicion of tumors originating from neuro-endocrine system. The patients were referred to our department following plasma and urinary measurement of epinephrine, norepinehrine and vanilmandelic acidfVMA). Radionuclide imaging was performel as a comparative or confirmatory measure in all patients who had previous...

The estrogen receptor (ER) is expressed on the vast majority of newly diagnosed breast cancers, yet not all ER-positive tumors will respond to endocrine therapy. Selecting patients for endocrine therapy can be considered as a series of predictive tests: does the tumor express the ER and if so, will the endocrine therapy interact with the target to produce a response? These are both challenges t...

The usefulness of 1.5-T high-field intraoperative magnetic resonance (iMR) imaging during transsphenoidal surgery for functioning pituitary adenomas was retrospectively evaluated based on long-term endocrine remission from the records of 14 patients who underwent transsphenoidal surgery with iMR imaging for functioning pituitary microadenomas and small adenomas located in the intrasellar region...
