The role of gated myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (GMPS) in myocarditis: A case report and review of the literature [PDF]
Acute myocarditis is one of the most challenging diagnoses and treatments in cardiology. The acute viral myocarditis diagnosis is usually based on high suspicion, history taking, and physical examination.

Neutron Star Crustal Mass Fractions [PDF]
We are investigating mass fractions on the crust of a neutron star which would remain after one year of cooling. We use cooling curves corresponding with various densities, or depths, of the neutron star just after its formation. We assume the modified Urca process dominates the energy budget of the outer layers of the star in order to calculate the ...

The effect of an iodine restricted including no sea foods diet, on technetium-99m thyroid scintigraphy: A neglected issue in nuclear medicine practice [PDF]
Although it is recommended to patients to avoid sea food and iodine-containing medications prior to iodine-131 ( 131I) scanning, the efficacy of this diet as for technetium-99m pertechnetate ( 99mTc-P) thyroid scintigraphy is not well addressed in the ...

Positron emission tomography detects evidence of viability in rest technetium-99m sestamibi defects [PDF]
Objectives. The purpose of this study was to determine the relative value of single-photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) imaging at rest using technetium-99m methoxyisobutyl isonitrile (technetium-99m sestamibi) with positron emission tomography ...

A biokinetic model for systemic technetium in adult humans
This paper reviews biokinetic data for technetium and proposes a biokinetic model for systemic technetium in adult humans. The development of parameter values focuses on data for pertechnetate (TcO4−), ?> the most commonly encountered form of technetium ...

Reactions of technetium hexafluoride with nitric acid, nitrosyl fluoride, and nitryl fluoride [PDF]
Stoichiometry of technetium hexafluoride reactions is studied. Magnetic properties and infrared spectra of reaction products are studied and compared with those of analogous complexes of the hexafluorides of tungsten, rhenium, and ...

Technetium and the third dredge up in AGB stars II. Bulge stars [PDF]
We searched for Technetium (Tc) in a sample of bright oxygen-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars located in the outer galactic bulge. Tc is an unstable element synthesised via the s-process in deep layers of AGB stars, thus it is a reliable indicator of both recent s-process activity and third dredge-up. We aim to test theoretical predictions on
