1. Estudo do campo de radiação neutrônica em torno do cíclotron GE PETtrace-8 de 16,5 MeV do CDTN / Study of the neutron radiation field around the GE-PETtrace-8 cyclotron do CDTN
Os radionuclídeos utilizados na tomografia por emissão de posítrons (PET) são produzidos utilizando um acelerador cíclotron. Os nêutrons produzidos durante a operação do cíclotron contribuem para exposição direta ou indireta dos Indivíduos Ocupacionalmente Expostos (IOEs), devido ao aumento da radiação de fundo da casamata. Além disso, há um

2. Radioisotope scanning of the lungs
Lung scanning with macroaggregated albumin 131I was carried out in 128 patients. The technique appears to be without hazard. It is particularly useful in the detection of pulmonary embolism, but the pattern is non-specific and changes occur in other cardio-respiratory diseases. On the basis of these observations pulmonary scanning is regarded as a useful adj

3. Comparison of intravenous digital subtraction angiography with radionuclide ventilation-perfusion lung scanning in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism.
Fifty one patients with suspected pulmonary embolus were studied by radionuclide ventilation-perfusion scanning and intravenous digital subtraction pulmonary angiography. In 31 patients the results of both investigations were reported as negative and in a further 11 both results were reported as positive, giving a concordance rate of 82.3%. In nine patients

4. Radioisotope scanning using a gamma camera.
Sixteen outpatients with rheumatoid arthritis took part in a placebo controlled double-blind crossover study. In addition to conventional measurements, a radioactive index was measured using a gamma camera that indicated a radioactive count over the measured joints and a comparable area of normal adjacent bone. This index showed poor correlation with other c

5. Rate of clearance by the spleen of heat-damaged erythrocytes.
The rate of uptake in the spleen of heat-damaged red blood cells labelled with 99mTc has been measured by radioisotope scanning in 38 patients. The values obtained for the half-clearance time into the spleen using this method have been compared with the values obtained simultaneously by blood sampling for the rate of loss of radioactivity from the circulatio

6. Accuracy of ventricular volume estimation.
Sources of error in the estimation of ventricular volume from CAT scans are discussed and the accuracy of the measurement assessed. Two methods of calculating ventricular volume from an intraventricular injection of radioisotope are described and compared. Finally, the CAT scan and isotope methods are compared and contrasted. The error associated with a sing

7. Pulmonary blood flow distribution after banding of pulmonary artery.
Radioisotope lung scanning was used to investigate the distribution of pulmonary blood flow after banding of the pulmonary artery in children with a left-to-right shunt and pulmonary hypertension. An abnormal distribution of blood flow in the lung on the side of the operation approach was observed in all patients in the first three weeks following surgery. A

8. Initial staging of non-small cell lung cancer: value of routine radioisotope bone scanning.
The exclusion of bone metastases is important in the initial staging of non-small cell lung cancer, though there is debate about whether bone scans should be performed routinely or restricted to patients who present with clinical or laboratory indicators suggesting skeletal metastases. In a prospective study of 110 consecutive patients referred for initial s
