1. Intrathoracic stomach mimicking bone metastasis from thyroid cancer in whole-body iodine-131 scan diagnosed by SPECT/CT
SUMMARY The whole-body iodine-131 scintigraphy is an imaging technique in monitoring patients with a history of thyroid cancer. Although the rate of false positives is negligible, it is not nonexistent. We report the case of an intervened and treated patient for thyroid cancer with good clinical and biochemical response. Scintigraphic findings were consisten

2. Scintigraphic imaging with technetium-99M-labelled ceftizoxime is a reliable technique for the diagnosis of deep sternal wound infection in rats
PURPOSE:To evaluate whether scintigraphy with technetium-99m-labeled ceftizoxime (99mTc-CFT) can differentiate mediastinitis from aseptic inflammation associated with sternotomy.METHODS:Twenty female Wistar rats were randomly distributed into four groups: S (control) -partial upper median sternotomy with no treatment; SW (control) - sternotomy and treatment

3. Robotic Salvage Lymph Node Dissection After Radical Prostatectomy
ABSTRACTIntroduction and objective:Radical prostatectomy is a first-line treatment for localized prostate cancer. However, in some cases, biochemical recurrence associated with imaging-detected nodal metastases may happen. Herein, we aim to present the surgical technique for salvage lymph node dissection after radical prostatectomy.Materials and Methods:A 70

4. Serum alkaline phosphatase predicts survival outcomes in patients with skeletal metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma
OBJECTIVE: Bone metastasis is frequently associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The diagnosis and follow-up of bone metastatic patients usually relies on skeletal X-ray and bone scintigraphy, which are time-consuming and costly. This study aimed to evaluate whether serum alkaline phosphatase offers clinical value in predicting the clinical response and s

5. Association of primary hyperparathyroidism and humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy in a patient with clear cell renal carcinoma
Hypercalcemia is found frequently in patients with cancer. Besides the etiology related to the malignancy, other causes should be considered in the differential diagnostic, as primary hyperparathyroidism, granulomatous diseases and the use of thiazide diuretics. We present a case report of a severe hypercalcemia due to a rare association and review the relev

6. Avaliação cintilográfica da regeneração óssea pós-cirurgia em coelhos / Scintigraphic evaluation of bone healing postoperative in rabbits
A regeneração óssea é um importante processo fisiológico e bioquímico que acontece no tecido ósseo em resposta a diferentes tipos de agressões. Sejam elas o trauma, infecções, excessos de demanda de carga, lesões expansivas, malformações vasculares e alterações metabólicas sistêmicas, em quaisquer destas situações a remodelação e regener

7. Usefulness of hybrid SPECT/CT for the 99mTc-HMPAO-labeled leukocyte scintigraphy in a case of cranial osteomyelitis
Cranial osteomyelitis is a potentially fatal lesion. White blood cell scanning (WBC) with 99mTc-hexamethylpropylene amine oxime (HMPAO) has proven highly sensitive and specific in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with suspected osteomyelitis. In this report we show the usefulness of SPECT and transmission CT performed simultaneously using a hybrid ima

8. "Valor disgnóstico e prognóstico dos métodos de imagem na fratura de estresse da tíbia: correlação clínico-radiológica" / Diagnostic and prognostic value of image methods in tibia stress fractures : clinical-radiological correlation
A major problem in athletes with stress fractures is the length of resting time required for complete recovery. No imaging tool has been capable of offering objective data regarding the appropriate recovery time in athletes with stress fractures. Two groups of athletes were included in our study: Group I consisted of 21 athletes with clinical suspicion of ti

9. Avaliação da relevância das imagens simultâneas de fusão: SPECT com 99m Tc-MDP e Tomografia Computadorizada aplicada no diagnóstico das Disfunções Temporomandibulares. / Assessment of the importance of simultaneous fusion images: SPECT with 99m Tc-MDP and Computed Tomography applied to the diagnosis of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunctions.
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction play a negative role on patient life quality standard. A diversity of signs and symptoms such us muscular pain, headaches (focal or diffuse), temporomandibular joint localized pain, limitation or excessive mandibular opening and joint noise may lead to difficulties of correct diagnosis. Clinical investigation and complemen

10. Clodronate for treatment of bone metastases in hormone refractory prostate cancer
INTRODUCTION: Approximately 85% of patients who die from prostate cancer have bone metastases. Even though the radiological aspect of such metastases is osteoblastic, we currently know that these lesions are mixed, with coexisting blastic and lytic lesions, always beginning with bone lysis by osteoclast proliferation. Treatment options are palliative and hav

11. Value of prostate specific antigen in predicting the existence of bone metastasis in scintigraphy
OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the ability of serum concentration of prostate specific antigen (PSA) between 2 cutting points to predict the existence of bone metastasis confirmed by bone scintigraphy in man with prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two hundred and fourteen consecutive patients with prostate cancer were evaluated during the present study in the peri

12. Bone lesions in early syphilis detected by bone scintigraphy.
We report a case of early syphilis with multiple bone lesions which all resolved after treatment with penicillin. We discuss why bone lesions may be more prevalent than generally believed and why 99m-Tc-MDP-bone scintigraphy is more sensitive than radiography in detecting syphilitic periostitis.
