Monte Carlo evaluation of object shape effects in iodine-131 SPET tumor activity quantification
(Springer-Verlag, 2001-07)
In our clinical iodine-131 single-photon emission tomography (SPET) quantification for radioimmunotherapy, calibration and partial volume correction are based on measurements with phantoms containing spheres to simulate ...
Scintigraphy of incidentally discovered bilateral adrenal masses
(Springer-Verlag, 1995-04)
The purpose of this study was to determine the patterns of iodine-131 6β-iodomethylnorcholesterol (NP-59) imaging and the correlation with computed tomography (CT)-guided adrenal biopsy and follow-up in patients with ...
CT evaluation of the equivocal pulmonary nodule
(Elsevier, 1987)
In the setting of a questionable pulmonary nodule demonstrated by conventional radiographs, the place of CT in the diagnostic algorithm is not well established. We reviewed our experience in 50 consecutive patients referred ...
Toxicity from treatment of neuroblastoma with 131 I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine
(Springer-Verlag, 1988-09)
Toxic effects from 131 I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine ( 131 I-MIBG) treatments of neuroblastoma in six patients were recorded. The toxicity was largely confined to the hematologic system where circulating leukocytes and platelets ...
Imaging of metabolism and autonomic innervation of the heart by positron emission tomography
(Springer-Verlag, 1992-06)
Positron emission tomography (PET) allows, in combination with multiple radiopharmaceuticals, unique physiological and biochemical tissue characterization. Tracers of blood flow, metabolism and neuronal function have been ...
Rapid detection of human infections with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose and positron emission tomography: preliminary results
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1998-09)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of 2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-2-deoxy- d -glucose (FDG) and positron emission tomography (PET) for rapid detection of human infections. Eleven patients who were known ...
The effect of vehicle on the tissue distribution profiles of radioiodinated cholesterol esters in the rat
(Elsevier, 1981)
Several groups have examined the possible use of radioiodinated cholesterol esters to achieve selective uptake of radioactivity in the adrenal cortex and have obtained variable results. This study indicates that the tissue ...
CT of unusual mediastinal vascular abnormalities
(Elsevier, 1984)
The previously unreported CT findings of supracardiac anomalous pulmonary venous return and Takayasu arteritis are presented. CT demonstration of a left vertical vein and an enlarged superior vena cava strongly suggests a ...
ω- 123 I-Hexadecanoic acid metabolic probe of cardiomypathy
(Springer-Verlag, 1985-03)
The utility of ω- 123 I-hexadecanoic acid myocardial scintigraphy as a metabolic probe of cardiomyopathies was investigated. Sixteen patients with a variety of cardiomyopathies and myopathies that involve cardiac muscle ...
Importance of intra-therapy single-photon emission tomographic imaging in calculating tumour dosimetry for a lymphoma patient
(Springer-Verlag, 1991-06)
The dosimetry for two, similarly sized tumours in a lymphoma patient being treated with non-bone marrow ablative, monoclonal antibody therapy is reported. The 45-year-old man was infused with 2.48 GBq (67 mCi) of 131 ...
