Internal radiation dose assessment of radiopharmaceuticals prepared with cyclotron-produced 99m Tc [PDF]
Technetium-99m (99m Tc) is the radioisotope most widely used in diagnostic nuclear medicine. It is readily available from 99 Mo/99m Tc generators as the \u3b2- decay product of the 99 Mo (T\ubd =66 h) parent nuclide.

Preoperative Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi SPECT Imaging in the Management of Primary Hyperparathyroidism in Patients With Concomitant Multinodular Goiter [PDF]
Preoperative parathyroid and thyroid imaging using technetium Tc 99m sestamibi scintigraphy-single-photon emission computed tomography (Tc 99m MIBI SPECT) and technetium Tc 99m sodium pertechnetate, respectively, in patients with parathyroid adenomas and concomitant multinodular goiters enables the selection of those suitable for minimally invasive ...

Characteristics of patients with abnormal stress technetium Tc 99m sestamibi SPECT studies without significant coronary artery diameter stenoses [PDF]
AbstractBackground: Single‐photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) sestamibi (MIBI) is an excellent tool for detection of coronary artery disease (CAD), preoperative risk assessment, and follow‐up management after coronary revas‐cularization. While the sensitivity of MIBI SPECT for detecting CAD has been reported to exceed 90%, the specificity ...

Ectopic Parathyroid Adenoma of the Thymus: A Case Report [PDF]
Ectopic Parathyroid Adenomas (EPAs) are uncommon, constituting less than 1% of all parathyroid adenomas. Although most adenomas arise from the superior or inferior parathyroid glands, ectopic locations such as the thymus, retroesophageal space ...

Substernal oxyphil parathyroid adenoma producing PTHrP with hypercalcemia and normal PTH level [PDF]
Background Parathyroid adenoma is the most common cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. Preoperative serum calcium and intact-parathyroid hormone levels are the most useful diagnostic parameters that allow differentiating primary hyperparathyroidism from
