In 1966, Griffith et al. used “a standard breakfast of ordinary food” labeled with chromium-51 to report the first use of gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES). As the procedure was refined over the ...
Contamination, a Major Problem in Nuclear Medicine Imaging: How to Investigate, Handle, and Avoid It
A spot image of the head, neck, and thorax was acquired with the patient in head-first supine position to correct the motion artifact. As we changed the orientation of the patient from feet-first ...
This report is of an unusual case of radioactive contamination of a γ-camera after scanning 2 individuals who had been treated 3 d beforehand with ablative doses of 131 I for thyroid cancer. A ...
Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology November 2025, jnmt.125.270450; DOI: https://doi.org/10.2967/jnmt.125.270450 ...
Quantification of regional lung perfusion with 99m Tc-labeled macroaggregated albumin is commonly used to evaluate pulmonary function in patients with lung cancer before volume reduction surgery (1,2) ...
The emergence of transmission imaging technologies within hybrid imaging systems can be used in conjunction with SPECT techniques to help localize lesions identified within traditional nuclear ...
PET and SUV depend on reliable pharmacokinetic modeling, part of which is predictable dose delivery. Partial extravasation of the intravenous dose administered undermines the predictability of dose ...
Gated stress MPI was performed using a Symbia T16 SPECT/CT scanner (Siemens AG) equipped with SMARTZOOM collimators. Images were acquired approximately 115 ± 20 min (range, 73–234 min) after injection ...
There is no doubt that the use of ionizing radiation and radioactive substances in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures is beneficial. According to the World Nuclear Association, today around 50 ...
Lymphoscintigraphy helps identify the first lymph node (sentinel node) receiving lymphatic drainage from a tumor site and can provide the surgeon with a map to follow during surgery and help stage the ...
