Perfect localization of hyperactive parathyroid glands is useful to minimize operation time, incision and reduce patient morbidity. 52 patients with hyperparathyroidism were investigated, 14 with primary and 38 with secondary hyperparathyroidism following renal failure. Surgery has been done on 36 patients (14 with primary and 22 with secondary hyperparathyroidism). Sensitivity of 99mTc-tetrofosmin scintigraphy was estimated after surgical removal of Hyperfunctioning glands and compared with that of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. The sensitivity of 99mTc-scintigraphy (79,5%) exceeded the sensitivity of ultrasound (68,2%) and magnetic resonance imaging (71,6%). Parathyroid hormone (P.T.H.) and calcium levels in serum were compared with positive 99mTc-tetrofosmin Scintigraphy. Results demonstrated correlation between positive 99mTc-tetrofosmin scintigraphy and parathyroid hormone levels with significant statistical difference of P < 0.001 and all patients with primary hyperparathyroidism with P.T.H. levels of 195 pg/ml or more were scintigraphically positives. All patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism with P.T.H. levels of 1200 or more were positives. No correlation was detected between calcium levels and positivity or negativity of scintigraphic results.

112 patients with suspected breast lesions were investigated using Scintimammography with 99mTc-MIBI, mammography and magnetic resonance to compare the diagnostic accuracy of Scintimammography with that of mammography and magnetic resonance in the d etecting of primary breast cancer. Excisional biopsy was taken after 7-10 days of Scintimammography. 70 patients were diagnosed with breast cancer; 55 palpable and 15 non-palpable lesions, while 42, 30 palpable and 12 non-palpable were diagnosed as benign lesions. The sensitivity of the three methods were high and approximate (89% by Scintimammography, 90% by mammography and 94% by magnetic resonance), while Scintimammography showed higher specificity (86%) versus 21% for mammography and 50% for magnetic resonance. The high specificity in addition to high positive (91%) and negative (82%) predictive values of Scintimammography resulted in a highly accurate diagnostic (87%) method compared to mammography (64%) and magnetic resonance (78%) procedures. Through the complementary use of Scintimammography it is possible to increase the sensitivity for the detection of breast cancer. In patients in whom the status of a palpable breast mass remains unclear, Scintimammography may help to reduce the amount of unnecessary biopsies.
32 lesions in 30 patients with Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were studied using gamma camera and technetium-99m metoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) to evaluate the pattern of uptake of 99mTc-MIBI in the lesions and the relationship between the upt ake pattern and histopathology of HCC. All lesions were diagnosed as HCC by percutaneous needle biopsy. 14 of 32 lesions showed positive uptake of 99mTc-MIBI, while the other 18 showed negative uptake. All of the lesions which showed positive uptake were of the compact type. Of the 18 lesions that showed negative uptake, 17 were of the trabecular type while one was of the compact type (necrotic compact tumor). These results suggest that the pattern of 99mTc-MIBI accumulation in HCC is divided into positive and negative types and those uptake patterns are corresponded to tissue structure of HCC.
In this study we used ultrasonic technology as a means of enhancing dyeing process efficiency of polyester fibers with disperse dyes, which had frequency 42kHz and, we studied the behavior of dye when the polyester dyed with (US) and with traditional dyeing methods (without US).
MRI is a medical imaging method that does not use harmful or ionizing radiation so it is safe and can be used to measure the proportions of iron that accumulate in the organs of the human body, especially the heart and liver
