We present the case of a 54-year-old male patient, with history of diagnosed sarcoidosis some years ago and myocardial involvement, who being asymptomatic, shows chest pain because of which he goes to...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the ability of Tl-201 abdominal SPECT to differentiate between chronic focal pancreatitis and pancreatic malignancy. Seventeen patients (12 men, 5 women; m...
We evaluated 67Ga SPECT in the differentiation of mass-like lesions in the orbital and ocular areas. A two-headed SPECT system equipped with parallel-hole collimator was used. 67Ga SPECT demonstrated ...
This paper discusses the effect of mass (chemical quantity) of injected dose on positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Commonly, PET or SPECT imagin...
A new automated edge detection program has been developed to estimate left ventricular mass from single photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) 201Tl images and 14 dogs were studied. Six of the 1...
The "left ventricular mass" (LVM) using Tc-99m Sestamibi SPECT imaging may be a useful parameter to quantitatively assess the left ventricle and hence its function. The LVM was determined without reor...
Left ventricular myocardial mass can be measured by 201Tl SPECT, but the effects of changes in heart rate and contractility have not been determined. We constructed a dynamic computer model simulating...
