The Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) market is expected to witness tremendous growth owing to the new
99mtc labelled agents for visualizing biologically significant events, and integration of X-ray tomography (CT) In SPECT.
"Iran now exports technetium generator (or colloquially a technetium cow or moly cow, a device used to extract the metastable isotope
99mTc of technetium from a source of decaying molybdenum-99) to many countries and if we can produce molybdenum, we will become fully self-sufficient in this area and of course, today we have had many successes in radio medicine production technology," Saqari said.
Bone scintigraphy: The patients received an intravenous injection of 540-740 MBq Technetium-99m (
99mTc) methylene diphosphonate.
Some authors have reported nuclear medicine imaging with
99mTc red blood scintigraphy as useful tool for diagnosis.
A comparative study of pre-operative imaging methods in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism: ultrasonography,
99mTc sestamibi, single photon emission computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging.
Dual-phase
99mTc sestamibi scintigraphy with neck and thorax SPECT/CT in primary hyperparathyroidism: a single-institution experience.
We here report an NSLA of the parotid gland with positive technetium-99m (
99mTc) pertechnetate scintigraphy and cervical masses that was difficult to distinguish from malignant lymphoma preoperatively.
A perspective on
99mTc and 125/131I labeled receptor targeted compounds and their in vitro/ in vivo affinities.
These include Nanocolloids4,7 (human albumin colloids), Sulfur colloids5 and Antimony-sulfur colloids6, all labeled with
99mTc. Likewise, different injection techniques are used.
