Cardiovascular diagnostic imaging plays a crucial role in modern health care, supporting accurate diagnosis, risk ...
In 1966, Griffith et al. used “a standard breakfast of ordinary food” labeled with chromium-51 to report the first use of gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES). As the procedure was refined over the ...
Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology November 2025, jnmt.125.270450; DOI: https://doi.org/10.2967/jnmt.125.270450 ...
A 65-y-old woman with multiple cardiovascular risk factors presented with atypical chest pain, prompting a 1-d pharmacologic stress myocardial perfusion test using 99m Tc sestamibi. Initial ...
A spot image of the head, neck, and thorax was acquired with the patient in head-first supine position to correct the motion artifact. As we changed the orientation of the patient from feet-first ...
This report is of an unusual case of radioactive contamination of a γ-camera after scanning 2 individuals who had been treated 3 d beforehand with ablative doses of 131 I for thyroid cancer. A ...
Publication of MIRD Monograph: Radiobiology and Dosimetry for Radiopharmaceutical Therapy with Alpha-Particle Emitters was supported by the SNMMI MIRD Committee to provide clinicians with information ...
We encountered a round artifact on images obtained with our SPECT/CT system: a small dark spot surrounded by a broad light ring. The artifact was due to a problem with the SPECT portion of the hybrid ...
Gated stress MPI was performed using a Symbia T16 SPECT/CT scanner (Siemens AG) equipped with SMARTZOOM collimators. Images were acquired approximately 115 ± 20 min (range, 73–234 min) after injection ...
The emergence of transmission imaging technologies within hybrid imaging systems can be used in conjunction with SPECT techniques to help localize lesions identified within traditional nuclear ...
A cardiac emergency in SPECT/CT and PET/CT occurs infrequently but necessitates prompt recognition and an appropriate response. The emergence of 18 F-based myocardial perfusion radiopharmaceuticals is ...
PET and SUV depend on reliable pharmacokinetic modeling, part of which is predictable dose delivery. Partial extravasation of the intravenous dose administered undermines the predictability of dose ...
