Oncologic Imaging Dominique Delbeke William H. Martin Some scintigraphic techniques used for oncologic imaging—such as technetium 99-m (99mTc)-diphosphonate bone imaging for primary and metastatic disease, 99mTc–sulfur colloid liver/spleen imaging for…
Renal Scintigraphy Carlos Cunha Pereira Neto Dominique Delbeke Renal scintigraphy has been used in clinical nephrourology since the early 1960s. It provides functional and anatomic information, both closely related. Structural…
Gastrointestinal and Correlative Abdominal Nuclear Medicine Imaging M. Reza Habibian MartinChirayu Shah Diverse radionuclide imaging procedures are available for studying the morphology and function of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Although…
Neurologic Imaging Dominique Delbeke Carlos Cunha Radiopharmaceuticals Any radiopharmaceutical injected as a bolus in a dose –20 mCi of technetium-99m (99mTc) for an adult—that provides a high enough count rate…
Radionuclide Pulmonary Imaging M. Reza Habibian Chirayu Shah Clinical Indication Ventilation/Perfusion Scintigraphy for Diagnosis of Pulmonary Emboli Despite the increasing use of spiral CT angiography, the ventilation/perfusion lung scan continues…
Endocrine Imaging William H. Martin Martin P. Sandler M. Reza Habibian This chapter includes a series of scintigraphic case presentations with correlative imaging of the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands….
, known as the half-life. This is defined as the time interval for a given number of nuclei (or their radioactivity) to decay to one-half of the original value. For…
