BACKGROUND
Age- and sex-specific reference intervals are an important prerequisite for interpreting thyroid hormone measurements in children. However, only few studies have reported age- and… (More)
[111In-diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid-d-Phe1]-octreotide (DTPA-octreotide) scintigraphy has gained widespread acceptance as a diagnostic clinical procedure in oncology for imaging somatostatin… (More)
BACKGROUND
Osteoporosis is regularly mentioned as a consequence of alcoholism. Ethanol's direct effect on bone-modeling cells as well as alcoholism-related "life-style factors" such as malnutrition,… (More)
The high-level expression of somatostatin receptors (SSTR) on various tumor cells has provided the molecular basis for successful use of radiolabeled peptide analogues as tumor tracers in nuclear… (More)
Dementia of the Alzheimer-type (DAT) is characterized by progressive cognitive decline, variably combined with frontal lobe release signs, parkinsonian symptoms and myoclonus. The features of diffuse… (More)
UNLABELLED
The aim of this study was to compare the imaging abilities of the recently developed somatostatin analog, (99m)Tc-hydrazinonicotinyl-Tyr(3)-octreotide ((99m)Tc-HYNIC-TOC [(99m)Tc-TOC]),… (More)
The aim of this document is to provide general information about mIBG scintigraphy in cancer patients. The guidelines describe the mIBG scintigraphy protocol currently used in clinical routine, but… (More)
Simultaneous assessment of myocardial perfusion and function by gated single-photon emission tomography (GS) after a single tracer injection provides incremental information and is feasible with… (More)
The aim of this study was to assess the value of multimodality imaging using a novel repositioning device with external markers for fusion of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and… (More)
The purpose of this document is to provide general information about bone scintigraphy in oncology. These guidelines describe procedures currently in routine clinical use but should not be… (More)
