Although there are many reports of osteoid os teoma in the literature, we were able to find only one case in which a bone scan was performed (1). The scan showed no definite lesion. McAfee has ad vised us that he has performed imaging studies on two proven instances of osteoid osteoma, both dem onstrating markedly increased uptake, but he is Un able to cite a specific reference in the literatur...

increased metabolic activity in muscle secondary to excessive muscle activity during the uptake phase and shortly before fdg injection is a known phenomenon. we present fdg pet/ct findings in a young male, known case of carcinoma maxilla his scan showed diffuse increased metabolic activity in multiple skeletal muscle groups. there was history of unaccustomed, strenuous sports activity of skiing...

the demand for low fat snacks is increasing. there are different methods to produce low fat fried products. one of these methods is coating. in this study effect of carrageenan, oil temperature and frying time, on oil uptake of fried products (chips and strips) has been evaluated. samples were deep fried in frying oil (palm olein) at 160, 175 and 190 ºc. in order to evaluate the effect of fryin...

fertilizers usually enhance potassium (k) content and other naturally occurring radioactive materials in agricultural fields that eventually enter the human food chain through plants. in this study, pot-grown rice plants planted in soil that is relatively high in natural radioactive content was used to estimate the individual influence of fertilizer applications on the uptake of 226ra, 232th, a...

 To the best of our knowledge, imaging of accidental exposure to radioactive fluorine-18 (F-18) due to liquid spill has not been described earlier in the scientific literature. The short half-life of F-18 (t½=110 min), current radiation safety requirements, and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations on radiopharmaceuticals have restrained the occurrence of these incidents. The possibilit...

abstract improving nitrogen use efficiency (nue) is an important objective of the agroecosystem management. a field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different competition patterns on nitrogen balance in the wheat agroecosystem. experimental design was split–plot based on randomized complete blocks with four replications. the main plots consisted of different nitrogen rates (i.e. ...

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...
