Radionuclide Imaging of Children

2020
Although many types of radionuclide studies are similar in adults and children, there is specific consideration to be aware of in the pediatric population. Careful planning and good communication is essential for acquiring an optimum study. Having the appropriate tools, environment, and enough time is of pivotal importance. In addition, it is important

Appropriate Use of Radionuclide Imaging

Cardiology in Review, 2012
The growth of radionuclide imaging has raised well-founded concerns about potential overutilization. In response to the need for guidance, appropriate use criteria have been developed, which categorize specific clinical scenarios such as whether radionuclide imaging would be reasonable (appropriate) to perform, or whether the test would be performed ...

Radionuclide Imaging in Renal Pseudotumors

Radiology, 1974
Radionuclide renal imaging was employed in 43 patients in whom excretory urograms were suggestive, but not definite, of the presence of a renal mass. The results of the radionuclide method, performed with 197Hg-chlormerodrin as the scanning agent, were compared to those of arteriography. Radionuclide imaging correctly separated the real tumors from the

Radionuclide Imaging of Intestinal Infarction

Radiology, 1977
An acute small bowel infarction in a 57-year-old male alcoholic produced a dense positive image on a gallium-67 citrate scan. Radionuclide imaging may be useful in the diagnosis of this condition, which has a high mortality rate and is not often diagnosed premortem.

Radionuclide imaging in histiocytosis X

Pediatric Radiology, 1987
Radionuclide imaging (99mTc bone scans, 99mTc S colloid scans, 99mTc brain scans and 67gallium scans) and bone radiographs were done in 54 children with histiocytosis X. The results are discussed, compared with the literature and indications for the different nuclear medicine studies are given.

Radionuclide Imaging (SPECT)

2016
Nuclear medicine techniques play a fundamental role in the study of neuroendocrine tumours (NET) having the capability to image in vivo the amine pathway and the overexpression of the somatostatin receptors by means of specific radiopharmaceuticals designed for either scintigraphy or positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT).

Radionuclide imaging of the heart

1991
Approximately 43 million Americans have one or more forms of acquired heart or blood vessel disease: high blood pressure occurs in 38 million adults; coronary artery disease occurs in 4.5 million adults; rheumatic heart disease occurs in 2 million; and stroke in 1.9 million. Myocardial infarction caused approximately 555000 deaths (25% of all mortality)

The history of lung imaging with radionuclides

Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 1979
T WO TYPES of lung imaging test agents and procedures for their administration were developed at the UCLA Laboratory of Nuclear Medicine and Radiation Biology between 1963 and 1965./-4 The first of these was devised to image the blood flow pattern in the lungs by rectilinear scanning, after the i.v.

Radionuclide Imaging of the Lungs

1988
Disorders of the respiratory tract are very common in the intensive therapy unit (ITU) probably affecting the majority of patients. Even if such patients do not originally present with lung disease, immobility, severe illness with infection, prolonged assisted ventilation and embolism may result in life-threatening respiratory disorders.
