Príklady scintigraphy

• The clinical value of prostate-specific antigen and bone scintigraphy in the staging of patients with newly diagnosed, pathologically proven prostate cancer.

• Coronary angiograms were then planned to confirm the findings of the scintigraphy.

• It would undoubtedly be of interest to obtain data, from thallium scintigraphy, on this group of patients.

• The left ventricular ejection fraction on nuclear scintigraphy was 38%.

• Ventilation and perfusion lung scintigraphy revealed normal ventilation on both sides, but absence of perfusion of the left lung.

• Pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy revealed a perfusion imbalance, with a left/right ratio of 85/15%.

• Scintigraphy allows the accurate assessment of oesophageal motility problems by imaging the oesophageal transit of radio-labelled liquids and solids.

• The wider availability of oesophageal manometry and scintigraphy has recently greatly aided clinical work in this area.

• Furthermore, techniques such as scintigraphy and endoscopy have greater limitations to accuracy and sensitivity and limit quantitative and objective assessment19.

• Ventilation and perfusion lung scintigraphy showed a smaller lung and absent perfusion on the left side.

• Alternatively bone scintigraphy, liver ultrasound and brain scans may be indicated.

• Patients unable to perform an exercise tolerance test can be evaluated by pharmacological stress that is usually used in conjunction with either echocardiography or myocardial perfusion scintigraphy.

• Splenic scintigraphy may be helpful as an adjunctive test, but relatively poor spatial resolution, interfering hepatic activity, and possible need for transport mitigate its usefulness in the young infant.

• Seven patients were identified with slow forward flow were and all of them had decreased ventricular function, as diagnosed by cross-sectional echo or scintigraphy prior to resonance imaging.

• In certain institutions, scintigraphy is the preferred diagnostic technique, but this leaves the patient radioactive for 24h, which may be inconvenient depending on nursing needs.
