PMID: 16313675
BMC Nucl Med. 2005 Nov 28;5:6. doi: 10.1186/1471-2385-5-6.

BACKGROUND: Most olfactory testings are subjective and since they depend upon the patients' response, they are prone to false positive results. The aim of this study was to use quantitative brain perfusion SPECT in order to detect possible areas...

Relationship of 99mtechnetium labelled macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA) uptake by colorectal liver metastases to response following Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT).

BMC nuclear medicine

Dhabuwala A, Lamerton P, Stubbs RS.
PMID: 16375764
BMC Nucl Med. 2005 Dec 23;5:7. doi: 10.1186/1471-2385-5-7.

BACKGROUND: SIRT is an emerging treatment for liver tumours which relies on the selective uptake by tumour of 90Y microspheres following hepatic arterial injection. Response rates of around 90% are reported. Hepatic arterial injection of MAA gives an indication...

Planar Tc99m--sestamibi scintimammography should be considered cautiously in the axillary evaluation of breast cancer protocols: results of an international multicenter trial.

BMC nuclear medicine

Massardo T, Alonso O, Llamas-Ollier A, Kabasakal L, Ravishankar U, Morales R, Delgado L, Padhy AK.
PMID: 16048648
BMC Nucl Med. 2005 Jul 27;5:4. doi: 10.1186/1471-2385-5-4.

BACKGROUND: Lymph node status is the most important prognostic indicator in breast cancer in recently diagnosed primary lesion. As a part of an interregional protocol using scintimammography with Tc99m compounds, the value of planar Tc99m sestamibi scanning for axillary...

Comparison of manual and semi-automated delineation of regions of interest for radioligand PET imaging analysis.

BMC nuclear medicine

Chow TW, Takeshita S, Honjo K, Pataky CE, St Jacques PL, Kusano ML, Caldwell CB, Ramirez J, Black S, Verhoeff NP.
PMID: 17261193
BMC Nucl Med. 2007 Jan 29;7:2. doi: 10.1186/1471-2385-7-2.

BACKGROUND: As imaging centers produce higher resolution research scans, the number of man-hours required to process regional data has become a major concern. Comparison of automated vs. manual methodology has not been reported for functional imaging. We explored validation...

Comparison of Technetium-99m-MIBI imaging with MRI for detection of spine involvement in patients with multiple myeloma.

BMC nuclear medicine

Mirzaei S, Filipits M, Keck A, Bergmayer W, Knoll P, Koehn H, Ludwig H, Pecherstorfer M.
PMID: 14670090
BMC Nucl Med. 2003 Dec 11;3(1):2. doi: 10.1186/1471-2385-3-2.

BACKGROUND: Recently, radiopharmaceutical scanning with Tc-99m-MIBI was reported to depict areas with active bone disease in multiple myeloma (MM) with both high sensitivity and specificity. This observation was explained by the uptake of Tc-99m-MIBI by neoplastic cells. The present...

Comparison of SPECT bone scintigraphy with MRI for diagnosis of meniscal tears.

BMC nuclear medicine

Tahmasebi MN, Saghari M, Moslehi M, Gholamrezanezhad A.

BMC Nucl Med. 2005 Apr 14;5:2. doi: 10.1186/1471-2385-5-2. eCollection 2005.

BACKGROUND: Scintigraphy has been considered as competitive to MRI, but limited data are available on the accuracy of single photon emission tomography (SPECT) compared with MRI for the assessment of meniscal tears. Our objective was to assess the value...

Prognostic utility of sestamibi lung uptake does not require adjustment for stress-related variables: a retrospective cohort study.

BMC nuclear medicine

Leslie WD, Yogendran MS, Ward LM, Nour KA, Metge CJ.
PMID: 16571123
BMC Nucl Med. 2006 Mar 29;6:2. doi: 10.1186/1471-2385-6-2.

BACKGROUND: Increased 99mTc-sestamibi stress lung-to-heart ratio (sLHR) has been shown to predict cardiac outcomes similar to pulmonary uptake of thallium. Peak heart rate and use of pharmacologic stress affect the interpretation of lung thallium uptake. The current study was...

Variation in heart rate influences the assessment of transient ischemic dilation in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy.

BMC nuclear medicine
