Technetium-99m sestamibi planar and single-photon-emission computed tomographic
scintigraphy is useful in the diagnosis of parathyroid gland disease. To understand the …

Conclusion: The ability of"" Tc-MIBI to detect malignant and benign bone and soft-tissue
lesions and to assess tumor response to chemotherapy was comparable to that of 201TI. In …

Methods: There were 45 patients with primary lung cancer. All patients underwent dual-
isotope imaging with 201TI-chloride and 99rnTc-MIBI. Regions of interest were placed over …

MATERIALS AND METhODS Patients Our study comprised 30 patients with various
malignant bone and soft-tissue tumors proven pathologically by specimens ob tamed from …

The last organ to be recognized in man, the parathyroid glands, was discovered in 1880 by
Ivar Sandstrom, a Swedish medical student. The discovery attracted little attention initially …

Abstract Technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) is a myocardial perfusion imaging
agent that has been reported to effectively localize in various tumors (eg, lung and thyroid …

DISCUSSION Although 99mTc-sestamibi is used chiefly for myocardial imaging, like its
counterpart, 20IT1-chloride, it is gaining recognition as a tumor imaging agent. The …

MATERIALS AND METhODS Patients There were 19 patients (15 men, 4 women; age range
39— 86 yr) with small cell lung cancer who were investigated before chemo therapy …

Purpose: Tc-99m MIBI can be excluded from cytosol against its concentration gradient as a
suitable transport substrate by P-glycoprotein. Tc-99m MIBI has also been shown to be more …

Background Pericardial hematoma is blood accumulation in the pericardial space. Although
rare, it could arise in various conditions, such as after cardiac surgery. Clinical diagnosis of …
