	AVMI- Thyroid Scintigraphy
		On thyroid scintigraphy, tumors are of various sizes, with irregular areas of radionuclide uptake in the cervical region and heterogeneity in the distribution of radioactivity.
		Thyroid scintigraphy with pertechnetate can readily differentiate between the two because animals with thyroid dysgenesis have minimal uptake of radionuclide in the anatomic region of the thyroid gland, whereas animals with iodination de-fects have enlarged thyroid lobes with normal or increased tracer uptake.
		Planar thyroid scintigraphy of a dog with a large and regionally invasive thyroid carcinoma with extensive pulmonary metastasis.

	Postgraduate Medicine: Imaging Techniques Symposium: When to use bone scintigraphy
		Bone scintigraphy is especially useful in detecting injury in the ribs, costovertebral junctions, hands, feet, spine, and diaphyses of long bones and also the metaphysealepiphyseal injuries common in child abuse.
		Scintigraphy's ability to assess the whole skeleton is advantageous, because Paget's disease is polyostotic in 80% of cases (11).
		Scintigraphy is useful in evaluating new symptoms, response to therapy, and prognosis in patients with known malignant tumor.

	AVMI - Renal Scintigraphy
		With renal scintigraphy, the relative amount of the radionuclide extracted from the blood by a kidney is proportional to that kidney’s function, also called its glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
		Quantitative renal scintigraphy is unique in its ability to rapidly and noninvasively measure individual and total kidney function (GFR) in the awake animal.
		The protocol for quantitative renal scintigraphy requires that the patient lie on its side for less than 10 minutes during which time the radionuclide is injected and images of the kidneys are acquired by a gamma camera and stored in a nuclear medicine computer for later analysis.

	Are scintigraphy and ultrasonography necessary before fine-needle aspiration cytology for thyroid nodules? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Scintigraphy and ultrasound imaging should be reserved for follow-up studies and patients who have suppressed levels of thyroid stimulating hormone.
		Scintigraphy showed that 124/216 (57%) patients had solitary cold nodules, 64/216 (30%) had multiple cold lesions, and 28/216 (13%) had no nodule.
		Tc-pertechnetate thyroid scintigraphy cannot truly differentiate benign or malignant nodules and cannot be used as the basis for recommending treatment of the nodule, including thyroid surgery.

	TAP during Scintigraphy Tomography Exams
		The value of atrial pacing and thallium-201 scintigraphy for assessing risk of subsequent cardiac events was examined in 210 patients with stable chest pain.
		There were no significant differences in the results of atria pacing or thallium-201 scintigraphy in patients with or without a history of myocardial infarction, or in those with or without previous coronary artery bypass surgery.
		Thallium-201 scintigraphy correctly identified 11 of 19 (58%) patients with single-vessel disease as having CAD in only one vessel, but underestimated the extent of disease in all but a few patients with multivessel disease.

	Nuclear medicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A typical nuclear medicine study involves administration of a radionuclide into the body by injection in liquid or aggregate form, inhalation in gaseous form or, rarely, injection of a radionuclide that has undergone micro-encapsulation.
		Some specialist studies require the labeling of a patient's own cells with a radionuclide (leukocyte scintigraphy and red cell scintigraphy).
		Most diagnostic radionuclides emit gamma rays, while the cell-damaging properties of beta particles are used in therapeutic applications.

		The value of scintigraphy and ultrasonography in the preoperative localization of parathyroid glands in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and concomitant thyroid disease.
		Parathyroid scintigraphy and high-resolution ultrasonography are frequently used as preoperative localization procedures in primary hyperparathyroidism.
		The complementary use of parathyroid scintigraphy and ultrasonography is beneficial and efficacious in areas with high prevalence of thyroid disease.

		The relationship between the total acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase and prostate-specific antigen with bone scintigraphy were significant for patients with or without bone metastasis.
		The relation of bone scintigraphy to prostate-specific antigen levels revealed the absence of bone metastasis in groups having prostate-specific antigen lower than 20 ng/ml.
		However, bone scintigraphy is not necessary for patients with prostate-specific antigen less than 20 ng/ml.

	AVMI - Bone Scintigraphy
		Bone scintigraphy depends on the principal that actively metabolizing bone will incorporate certain bone "tracers." The distribution of these tracers is dependent on the rate of bone turnover and blood flow.
		One of the most useful applications for bone scintigraphy is in the evaluation of the patient with a poorly localized lameness.
		Notice the subtle increase in blood flow to the left elbow, mildly increased radionuclide distribution to the left elbow on the soft tissue phase and focal area of increased radionuclide uptake in the left elbow on the delayed bone images.

		Scintigraphy is the process of intravenously administering low levels of a safe radioactive agent, then obtaining images with a special (gamma) camera for evaluation and display.
		Because scintigraphy is based on the function of tissues, it is a highly sensitive tool, especially for detecting early musculoskeletal problems such as navicular syndrome, stress fractures, and degenerative joint disease.
		Despite these technological advances, it still is the responsibility of an owner to understand when his or her horse is not performing well and present the horse to a veterinarian for a thorough evaluation.

		The aim of this work was to evaluate scrotal scintigraphy as a screening measure of varicocele and to study testicular vascular disturbances that may be associated with this illness.
		Then, scrotal scintigraphy was performed by injection of 20 mCi of 99mTc Pertechnetate I.V. to detect testicular perfusion and radioactive uptake.
		We have detected 89.5% sensitivity and 90.9% specificity of scintigraphy compared to color duplex Doppler ultrasonography Significant decreases in arterial blood velocity and testicular perfusion were detected specially with large varicoceles which showed also, significant decrease in testicular arterial diameters compared to control.

	Lameness Diagnosis in Horses (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Scintigraphy uses a radioisotope injected into the blood that is preferentially taken up by areas of bone inflammation; as a result, it can actually indicate metabolism in an area of bone.
		Scintigraphy is also valuable in the diagnosis of bone inflammation when there is no radiographic signs of abnormalities.
		Scintigraphy is valuable in other areas of the body as well.

		Neonatal thyroid scintigraphy was performed in 210 cases (86%): ^sup 123^I was used in 143 cases (68%), and technetium Tc 99m pertechnetate was used in 67 cases (32%).
		To perform scintigraphy with ^sup 123^I, 30 to 50 Ci ([1.11-1.85] 10^sup 6^ Bq) of ^sup 123^I was administered orally; an uptake image was taken in 3 to 6 hours; and, if necessary, another image was taken in 24 hours.
		Of the 210 infants with CH receiving scintigraphy, 90 (43%) had eutopic (normal-appearing) thyroid diagnosed, and 120 (57%) had ectopic or absent gland (25% ectopic, 32% absent) diagnosed.
