The $^{99m}Tc$-pertechnetate thyroid uptake rates(20 min) were measured in 24 healthy normal subjects, 140 patients with nontoxic goiter and 98 patients with thyrotoxicosis who were treated at the Thyroid Clinic, Seoul National University Hospital, from August 1972 to August 1973. Diagnostic reliabilities and correlations between $^{99m}TcO_4$-thyroid uptake rate (20 min) and other thyroid function tests were evaluated. The observed results were as follows 1. The $^{99m}TcO_4$-thyroid uptake rates (20 min) in normal subjects, euthyroid group and hyperthyroid group were $4.1{\pm}0.9%,\;5.2{\pm}1.8%\;and\;29.7{\pm}10.6%$. There was a significant difference between the mean of the euthyroid group and the mean of the hyperthyroid group and so differentiation between them can be easy. 2. In the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism, the reliabilities of $^{99m}TcO_4$- thyroid uptake rate(20 min), $^{131}I$ thyroid uptake rate(24hrs), serum $T_3$ resin uptake rate, serum $T_4\;and\;T_7\;were\;87.9{\sim}97.9%,\;81.2{\sim}94.4%,\;87.9{\sim}97.9%,\;90.5{\sim}99.3%\;and\;93.7{\sim}100%$. $^{99m}TcO_4$-thyroid uptake rate(20 min) is more accurate than $^{131}I$ thyroid uptake rate (24 hrs) in the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism. 3. $^{99m}TcO_4$-thyroid uptake rate (20 min) was well correlated with $^{131}I$ thyroid uptake rate (24 hrs), serum $T_3$ resin uptake rate, serum $T_4\;and\;T_7$. Points in favor of $^{99m}Tc$ are that it gives a small radiation dose to the thyroid, that tests can be repeated at the short interval, the study can be completed at a single patient visit and it is particularly well suited for the assessment of thyroid function in patients being treated with an antithyroid drug.

Technetium 99m pertechnetate brain scanning were performed in 3 cases of head injury (2 chronic subdural hematomas and 1 acute epidural hematoma), 2 cases of brain abscess and I case of intracerebral hematoma associated with arteriovenous anomaly. In all the cases brain scintigrams showed "hot areas." Literatures on radioisotope scanning of intracranial lesions were briefly reviewed. With the improvement of radioisotope scanner and development of new radiopharmaceuticals brain scanning became a safe and useful screening test for diagnosis of intracranial lesions. Brain scanning can be easily performed even to a moribund patient without any discomfort and risk to the patient which are associated with cerebral angiography or pneumoencephalography. Brain scanning has been useful in diagnosis of brain tumor, brain abscess, subdural hematoma, and cerebral vascular diseases. In 80 to 90% of brain tumors positive scintigrams can be expected. Early studies were done with $^{203}Hg$-Neohydrin or $^{131}I$-serum albumin. With these agents, however, patients receive rather much radiation to the whole body and kidneys. In 1965 Harper introduced $^{99m}Tc$ to reduce radiation dose to the patient and improve statistical variation in isotope scanning.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN type 2, Sipple's syndrome) is a rare disorder characterized by the association of medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, parathyroid hyperplasia and can be diagonsed in early stage of the disease by meticulous screening tests of the family. This case report describes the location and categorization of tumors using $^{99m}Tc-pertechnetate,\;^{131}I-NaI,\;^{99m}Tc-pentavalent(V)$, DMSA $^{131}I-MIBG$ scans in two cases of MEN type 2 occurred in a 32-year old women and her 29-year old brother. In MEN type 2, we think, combined use of $^{99m}Tc-(V)-DMSA,\;^{99m}Tc-pertechnetate\;and\;^{131}I-MIBG$ may be useful for the categorization of tumor mass lesions and planning appropriate therapy.

Transcolonic scintigraphy using $^{99m}Technetium$ pertechnetate ($^{99m}TcO_{4}$) was performed in 5 dogs with portosystemic shunts. In all dogs, the activity in the heart was seen before liver activity. Also time activity curve was revered. The mean shunt index in 5 dogs was 82.3% (range 79.6~87.1%). Transcolonic scintigraphy is quick, simple and useful diagnostic method for canine portosysternic shunts.

인의학에서 비루관의 기능적 폐쇄 검사에서 유용하게 사용되는 비루관신티그라피 검사를 정상 비글견에 적용하여 그 유용성을 알아보고자 하였다. 누비공신티그라피는 정상적인 비루관 개통이 임상적으로 확인된 6마리 비글견에서 시행하였다.정면상의 양측 눈을 100초 동안의 타임세팅으로 한 후 5분, 10분, 20분 영상을 얻고자 하였다. 20분영상에서 누관의 개통이 관찰되지 않으면 30분. 45분. 60분 지연 영상을 얻었다. 신티그라피 이후 획득한 각 영상에서 좌측, 우측의 눈물세관, 누낭, 비루관의 관심영역 (ROI)를 그린 후 각 각의 계수율을 측정한 후 시간별 계수율 표를 구하였다. 20분 내 개통률은 전체 12개 비루관 중 10개를 나타내어 검사개체 중 83.3%를 나타내고 있으며 30분내 개통률은 12개중 11개를 나타내어 개통률은 91.6%이다. 정상 개에서 누비공신티그라피의 영상은 개 비루관의 해부학적, 기능적 누도폐쇄의 진단법으로 유용하다고 판단되며 임상적인 연구에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

$^{99m}Tc-Pertechnetate\;(TcO_4^-)$ is concentrated by the stomach after intravenous injection, allowing the detection of ectopic gastric mucosa. It has been used to develop a noninvasive test of gastric secretion. However the cellular site of concentration is still controversial, that is whether mucin-secreting epithelial cell or acid-secreting parietal cell. This study is planned to investigate the effects of cimetidine and gastric acidity on the retention of $TcO_4^-$ in the gastric wall of the rat. Also we further attempted to clarify the uptake and secreting cell of $TcO_4^-$ in the gastric mucosa. One hundred rats were divided into two groups, preliminary (40 rats) and main examination group (60 rats). Preliminary examination group was composed of fasting group (20 rats) for the detection of the time for reaching stable $TcO_4^-$ retention ratio in gastric wall and post-prandial group (20 rats) for the detection of the time for reaching the maximal gastric acidity. Main examination group was composed of fasting group (30 rats), which was subdivided into control group (10 rats), cimetidine group (10rats), $Mylanta^{(R)}$ group (10 rats) and post?prandial group (30 rats), which was subaivided into 90 min group (10 rats), 90 min cimetidine group (10 rats), and 120 min group (10 rats). Retention ratio (%) of $TcO_4$ in the gastric wall and the pH of the gastric contents were measured in the extracted stomach of the six groups. Gastric wall retention ratio of $TcO_4^-$ was calculated by the gastric wall radioactivity (cpm) divided by total gastric radioactivity (cpm) at 30 mins after intravenous injection of 0.4 mCi of $TcO_4^-$. The results were as follows: 1) The time required for reaching stable $TcO_4$ retention ratio and the lowest gastric PH were 30 min and 90 min, respectively. 2) In the fasting group, the gastric wall retention ratio of $TcO_4^-$ was significantly increased in the cimetidine group, compared with the control group (P < 0.01). However there was no significant difference between the control and $Mylanta^{(R)}$ group 3) The $TcO_4^-$ retention ratios of 90 min and 120 min groups were lower than that of the fasting control group (p < 0.05), either. After administration of cimetidine, the retention ratio was significantly increased in 90 min group (p < 0.01). 4) While $TcO_4^-$ retention ratio and gastric pH were well correlated in the post-prandial 120 min group (r=0.7112, p<0.05), in the post-prandial 90 min and 90 min cimetidine groups correlated poorly. However, there was no correlation in the three fasting groups at all. Referring the above results, we infer that $TcO_4^-$ is secreted into the gastric lumen by both parietal and non-parietal cells, with dominant non-parietal $TcO_4^-$ secretion in the fasting state and dominant parietal $TcO_4^-$ secretion in the stimulated state.
