Acute lower gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage (LGIH) has significant morbidity and mortality outcomes. Although several causes of LGIH can be life threatening, most can be effectively treated; ...

Patient motion during myocardial perfusion SPECT is a common source of errors. The extent and severity of motion artifacts have been described for filtered backprojection (FBP) reconstruction. In ...

Nuclear medicine technologists in Manitoba receive annual whole-body doses in the range 100-500 mrem (1-5 mSv) and are classified as Atomic Radiation Workers. A detailed investigation into the sources ...

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is an important imaging modality in the management of patients with cardiovascular disease. MPI plays a key role in diagnosing cardiovascular disease, establishing ...

Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology March 2016, jnmt.116.175018; DOI: https://doi.org/10.2967/jnmt.116.175018 ...

In the era of high-sensitivity troponin, minor elevations are often attributed to noncardiac etiologies. However, in patients who present with characteristic symptoms, any troponin elevation is ...

18F-FDG PET/CT is crucial for cancer diagnosis; however, respiratory motion often causes misregistration between PET and CT images. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a custom-made respiratory ...

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with gated SPECT makes up approximately 40%–60% of procedures performed daily in nuclear medicine. More than 11 million MPI scans are performed annually in the ...

Many benign bone lesions mimic skeletal metastases from thyroid cancer on imaging and even may have high metabolic uptake on 18F-FDG PET/CT. It becomes crucial to distinguish these hypermetabolic ...

The American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society and the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging collaboratively wrote consensus statements to standardize gastric emptying ...

[99mTc]-3,3-diphosphono-1,2-propanodicarboxylic acid bone scintigraphy was used to differentiate between posterior impingement syndrome and Haglund syndrome in a 34-y-old man with unclear right-sided ...

Cardiac PET imaging is increasingly used for myocardial perfusion studies because of its high diagnostic accuracy and low radiation exposure to the patient. However, patient motion can be challenging, ...
