Enterobiliary fistulae: A potential cause of a false-negative hepatobiliary study in the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis
(Springer-Verlag, 1985-02)
Cholescintigraphy has gained widespread acceptance in detection of acute cholecystitis (AC). Gallbladder (GB) visualization within 4 h effectively rules out A.C. with a high degree of specificity. We present a case of A.C. ...
Diagnostic interventions in nuclear medicine
(Elsevier, 1989)
Diagnostic interventions in nuclear medicine may be defined as the coadministration of a nonradioactive drug or application of a physical stimulus or physiologic maneuver to enhance the diagnostic utility of a nuclear ...
Subcellular distribution of [125I]Iodoaryl [beta]-methyl fatty acids
(Elsevier, 1985)
Subcellular distribution studies of two aryl branched-chain and one aryl straight-chain iodinated fatty acids were carried out as part of a continuing effort to determine if such acids are metabolized by [beta]-oxidation. ...
The “water-ida”: A simple means to separate duodenal from gallbladder activity on cholescintigraphic studies
(Springer-Verlag, 1984-07)
In some 99m Tc-iminodiacetic acid studies, separation of the gallbladder from the duodenum can be difficult, despite multiple views. When faced with this problem, we have had the patient ingest 250 cc of tap water. This ...
Femoral and obturator neuropathy secondary to retroperitoneal hemorrhage the value of the ct scan
(Elsevier, 1981)
A man developed signs of femoral and obturator neuropathy due to spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage while taking anticoagulant drugs for suspected thrombophlebitis. The hemorrhage was demonstrated by CT scan. CT scans ...
Tomographic renal cortical scintigraphy: Correlation with intravenous urography, computed tomography, ultrasonography, angiography, and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging
(Springer-Verlag, 1985-11)
This study evaluates single-photon renal tomoscintigraphy (SPECT) in the evaluation of renal masses and correlates this modality, where indicated, with computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography (US), angiography (ANGIO) ...
Improved radioimmunolocalization of human tumor xenografts following subcutaneous delivery of monoclonal antibodies
(Springer-Verlag, 1988-01)
The localization of a radiolabeled murine monoclonal antibody reactive with choriocarcinomas to human choriocarcinoma xenografts following intravenous and subcutaneous injection was evaluated by gamma scanning and tissue ...
The effect of specimen processing on radiolabeled monoclonal antibody biodistribution
(Springer-Verlag, 1984-08)
Monoclonal antibodies are assuming increasing importance in experimental and clinical medicine. Generally, tissue biodistribution studies in animals precede human studies. To investigate a concern of ours that varying ...
Increased genital uptake of 99m Tc red blood cells: A potential cause of false-positive studies for gastrointestinal bleeding
(Springer-Verlag, 1984-05)
We have recently seen several 99m Tc labeled red blood (Tc-RBC) cell studies, for the localization of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, which were difficult to interpret because of increased activity in the low abdomen, which ...
The (F)utility of the thallium-201 quantitative lung/myocardial ratio in the detection of coronary artery disease
(Springer-Verlag, 1986-01)
Exercise-induced increases in pulmonary uptake of thallium-201 ( 201 Tl) have been associated with exercise-induced myocardial dysfunction. To evaluate this phenomenon more replicably, a quantitative semi-automated computer ...
