Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) is a new Tc-99m renal agent that compares favorably to I-131 Hippuran in animal models, normal volunteers, and patients. Based on the fact that Tc-99m MAG3 has a much more rapid clearance than Tc-99m DTPA and a smaller volume of distribution, it was postulated that the image quality of Tc-99m MAG3 studies should be superior to scans obtained using Tc-99m DTPA, particularly in patients with impaired renal function. To test this hypothesis, Tc-99m DTPA and MAG3 images were obtained in three transplant patients during periods of stable but impaired renal function. In one study, the Tc-99m DTPA study was potentially misleading, whereas the Tc-99m MAG3 examination assessed the clinical situation correctly. In all three cases, the Tc-99m MAG3 images were superior. 相似文献

An eight-year-old boy with recurrent urinary infection underwent Tc-99m DTPA renal scintigraphy for the evaluation of renal function. Stasis of the tracer was observed in the pelvocalyceal systems of both kidneys. Intravenous diuretic was administered to evaluate a possible mechanical obstruction. During the course of the study, a well-defined, round area of activity extended from the bladder which was subsequently confirmed to be a diverticulum on voiding cystourethrogram and at surgery. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Although, captopril scintigraphy is a well established method to detect renovascular hypertension, the optimal radiopharmaceutical for this test remains to be determined. Recently, Tc-99m ethylenedicysteine (Tc-99m EC) appeared as an alternative agent for captopril scintigraphy. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of Tc-99m EC with Tc-99m DTPA, which is a well-established renal radiopharmaceutical for the captopril test. METHODS: Nineteen hypertensive patients who had various degrees of renal artery stenosis on angiography were included in the study. All patients had baseline and captopril Tc-99m EC and Tc-99m DTPA scintigraphy within a 1-week period. The results were compared with angiography and in eight patients with changes in blood pressure after revascularization. The images were interpreted without knowledge of the angiography and revascularization data as low, intermediate, or high probability for hemodynamically significant renal artery stenosis, which was defined as an area of stenosis exceeding 50%. RESULTS: Tc-99m EC and Tc-99m DTPA study results were in agreement in 16 of the 19 patients. In two patients with branch artery stenosis, Tc-99m EC was definitely superior to Tc-99m DTPA and correctly identified the probability of stenosis on scintigraphy. On kidney analysis, Tc-99m EC had a slightly greater diagnostic sensitivity compared with Tc-99m DTPA (79% vs. 68%; P > 0.05 by the chi-squared test) but equal specificity (93% for both agents). Both Tc-99m EC and Tc-99m DTPA showed the same accuracy in predicting the outcome after revascularization in all but one patient with branch artery stenosis, in whom Tc-99m EC accurately predicted a successful outcome of the intervention but Tc-99m DTPA did not. Tc-99m EC had better renal uptake in patients with decreased renal function and provided more dramatic evidence of renogram changes after captopril intervention, which resulted in more confident interpretation. CONCLUSIONS: There is no significant difference between Tc-99m EC and Tc-99m DTPA captopril scintigraphy for detecting renal artery stenosis. However, because of the better imaging characteristics and more confident interpretation provided by the dramatic changes in the degree of renogram abnormality after captopril intervention, Tc-99m EC captopril scintigraphy should be used, particularly in patients with decreased renal function or branch artery stenosis. 相似文献

A 22-year-old female patient with severe hypertension underwent both Technetium-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetate and Technetium-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine basal and captopril renal scintigraphy. While no significant change was seen with Tc-99m DTPA, there was left sided parenchymal retention of captopril Tc-99m MAG3 suggesting renal artery stenosis which was confirmed by angiography. 相似文献

PURPOSE: This case demonstrates the use of Tc-99m HMPAO scintigraphy in amiodarone (AD)-induced lung toxicity. The aim of this presentation is also to discuss different scintigraphic modalities in the diagnosis and follow up in AD-induced lung toxicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 77-year-old man, with a suspicious AD-induced acute lung toxicity, underwent Tc-99m DTPA aerosol inhalation scintigraphy and Tc-99m HMPAO scintigraphy. RESULTS: Rapid alveolar clearance of Tc-99m DTPA was found during AD therapy and increased lung uptake of Tc-99m HMPAO was also demonstrated. These findings supported the diagnosis AD lung toxicity. After cessation of therapy, Tc-99m DTPA alveolar clearance was decreased. Although there was some decrease in L/H and L/B ratios of Tc-99m HMPAO after 3 weeks of stopping therapy, Tc-99m HMPAO uptake in the lungs was still continued. This finding may be the result of ongoing pulmonary inflammation as a result of the long half-life of AD. CONCLUSION: Compared with Tc-99m DTPA aerosol inhalation scintigraphy, Tc-99m HMPAO scintigraphy may have a role in the diagnosis of AD lung toxicity. Nevertheless, there is a need for longitudinal studies investigating patients under AD therapy using follow-up Tc-9m HMPAO scintigraphy. 相似文献

During 99mTc-DTPA renal flow studies, extrarenal abnormalities have been found to include aortic abnormalities (aneurysm, ectasia, thrombosis, and abruptly decreased flow), splenic abnormalities (enlarged, small, or absent spleen), hepatic arterialization, and very slow circulation. In addition to the above abnormal findings, we add three more extrarenal pathologies that may be concomitantly found with renal flow study: pleural effusion(s), malignancy of the abdomen, and anemia and/or skeletal metastases. 相似文献

Tc-99m DTPA renography in patients with collagen disease 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
PURPOSE: This study evaluated the use of Tc-99m DTPA renography in patients with collagen disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Tc-99m DTPA renal scintigraphy was performed in 28 patients with clinically diagnosed collagen disease. Twenty-two other patients who underwent renal scintigraphy and were subsequently shown to have no kidney abnormalities served as the control group. RESULTS: One quarter of the patients with collagen disease had abnormal findings of renography, despite the absence of abnormal laboratory data. Renograms were 100% sensitive for the detection of renal disease in patients with collagen disease, and their specificity was 53% when serum blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine concentration, and proteinuria were the only measures of renal impairment considered. The glomerular filtration rate was not significantly different between the groups, but the bilateral time to peak was significantly greater in the patients with collagen disease. Hydronephrosis was present in 7% of patients with collagen disease. CONCLUSION: Renography is useful for detecting early changes of renal involvement when the clinical state of collagen disease is evaluated. 相似文献

Measurements were made of the concentration of Tc-99m activity in samples of breast milk following an administration of Tc-99m DTPA aerosol for a lung ventilation image and one of Tc-99m MAA for lung perfusion. The activity was 222 nCi/ml of milk (8.2 kBq/ml) at 2 hr after the MAA injection, and it was found to be excreted exponentially with an effective half-life of 4.6 hr. There was a small incorporation of Tc-99m into breast-milk protein. We conclude that the combined use of these two Tc-99m agents did not indicate the interruption of breast feeding beyond 24 hr after administration of the MAA, and that for an aerosol ventilation study alone, breast feeding need not be interrupted for more than 4 hr after the test. 相似文献

An unexpected biodistribution of nebulized Tc-99m diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid was detected after the ventilation of a patient referred for diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. Radiochemical purity testing of the stock vial showed more than 95% labelling. Further investigation indicated that the problem was possibly associated with a cleaning agent used for the nebulizer, leading to the dissociation of the Tc-99m diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid. Manufacturer's instructions for cleaning of the nebulizer specify the use of 70% denatured ethanol solution, but a chlorine-based agent had been used inadvertently. 相似文献

Evaluation of exercise-induced acute renal failure in renal hypouricemia using Tc-99m DTPA renography 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We present a case of a thirty-eight-year-old man who had exercise-induced acute renal failure (exercise-induced ARF). He experienced oliguria, general fatigue, and vague discomfort in the lower abdomen after he exercised. As he had suffered from hypouricemia before, he was diagnosed as having exercise-induced ARF associated with hypouricemia. Enhanced computed tomography (CT) images showed patchy wedge-shaped contrast enhancement on his bilateral kidneys, consistent with characteristic observations for exercise-induced ARF. Tc-99m diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DPTA) renography revealed decreases in both the renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and revealed parenchymal dysfunction of the bilateral kidneys. Renogram revealed a hypofunctional pattern on the bilateral kidneys. CT images and Tc-99m DTPA renography also had improved when the symptoms of exercised-induced ARF indicated improvement. It has been hypothesized that one cause of exercise-induced ARF may be renal vasocontraction. Although CT images are useful in evaluating exercise-induced ARF, Tc-99m DTPA renography can more easily and safely evaluate renal function. We also show that Tc-99m DTPA renography is useful in precisely evaluating the degree of improvement of exercise-induced ARF. 相似文献
