  • 본 연구는 랫드에서 Freund's complete adjuvant를 랫드의 후지에 투여하여 인의적으로 유발된 관절염을 진단하기 위한 방법으로 $^{99m}Technetium-MDP (^{99m}Tc_MDP$)을 이용한 골 스캔의 임상적 의의를 찾고자 하였다. 성숙 Sprague-Dawley 암컷 랫드를 대조군과 실험군으로 분리하고, 골의 스캔은 0.05mCi의 $^{99m}Tc_MDP$를 정맥 주사하여 3시간 후에 전신 영상을 얻었다. 골의 스캔과 방사선학적 평가를 비교한 겨과 관절염 유발 7일 후부터 관절염의 병변이 관찰되었지만, 방사선학적 소견에서는 14일 후부터 병변이 관찰되었다. 골의 스캔에서 관절염 유발 7일 후에 유의적으로 골의 이상적 섭취 증각가 관찰되었고(p<0.05), 21일 후에는 전지와 후지의 모든 부위에서 골의 이상적 섭취 증가가 관찰되었지만, 방사선학적 소견에서는 후지에서만 병변 부위가 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과에서 $^{99m}Tc_MDP$을 이용한 골의 스캔은 류마티스 관절염을 임상적으로 진단하는데 방사선학적 진단보다 효과적인 방법임을 알 수가 있었고, 골의 스캔은 류마티스 관절염을 초기에 진단하는데 유효한 진단방법임을 확인하였다.

  • Thyroid imaging was performed in 53 hyperthyroid cats with technetium-99m as pertechnetate($^{99m}TcO_{4}$). Increased radionuclide accumulation was found in all cats. Thirty-four cats had bilateral enlargements of the thyroid glands and 14 cats had unilateral enlargements. Five cats had multi-focal accumulation of $^{99m}TcO_{4}$ in the ventral neck or mediastinum. Conclusively, nuclear thyroid image is useful method in diagnosis of feline hyperthyroidism.

Primary Neuroblastoma Uptake in $^{99m}Technetium$ Methylene Diphosphonate Bone Scan (2 Cases) ($^{99m}Technetium$ Methylene Diphosphonate Bone Scan에서 원발병소가 조영된 신경아세포종 2예의 치험)

  • Although the exact mechanism is not clearly understood yet, there were examples of the uptake of radiopharmaceuticals to the soft tissue lesions with $^{99m}Technetium$ methylene diphosphonate bone scan. Recently, we experienced two cases of neuroblastoma of which primary sites were imaged with $^{99m}Tc-MDP$ bone scan preoperatively and could make the diagnosis. So, we report here that $^{99m}Tc-MDP$ bone scan is the reasonable method not only to find out the bone metastasis, but also to diagnose the neuroblastoma preoperatively.

  • In general, hot nodules on techetium scan are regarded as benign tumors, and usually no further work up for malignancy is indicated, if they are truly autonomous. The authors experienced two cases of thyroid carcinoma presenting as hot nodule on technetium-99m pertechnetate thyroid scintigraphy. One case with papillary carcinoma, and other case with follicular carcinoma are presented in addition to a review of the literature.

TECHNETIUM-99m BONE SCAN FOR EVALUATING AUTOLOGOUS ILIAC BONE GRAFT AND FREEZE-DRIED BONE ALLOGRAFT IN DOG'S MANDIBLE (Technetium-99m 골주사를 이용한 하악골의 자가골 및 동종골 이식의 평가에 대한 실험적 연구)

  • Clinical assessment of bone-graft healing in the maxillofacial region is generally limited to clinical evaluation, radiographs, and biopsy. Sequential interpretation of osseous repair, more sensitive than with conventional radiography is possible with a non-invasive, non-destructive radionuclide method. Technetium-99m radionuclide bone scan was used in the evaluation of the progress of osteogenic activity in autologous iliac bone graft and freeze-dried bone allograft of dog's mandible. Bone scan was performed at 1wk, 2wk, 4wk, 6wk, and 8wk after grafting. In autologous graft the activity ratio for the graft bone remained greater than that of the host since 2자 after grafting; however, in lyophilized allograft the activity ratio for graft bone was greater than that of the host at 6자 after grafting.

  • Two cases of bleeding Meckel's diverticulum diagnosed by $^{99m}$Technetium-pertechnetate scanning are presented. $^{99m}TC$-pertechnetate was used in the diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum by Jewette et al. in 1970 for the first time. The affinity of this isotope for the parietal cell of the gastric mucosa makes it ideal for delineating ectopic gastric tissue. Its noninvasiveness can be used in early screening test for occult gastrointestinal bleeding in pediatric age group.

  • Tc-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) and Tl-201/technetium subtraction scintigraphy have been used for localization of abnormal parathyroid gland. The uptake mechanism of tracers has been postulated to be increased cellular density and vascularity, or dependent on the presence of mitochondria-rich cells. However, the uptake of these tracers was not specific for abnormal parathyroid gland. The author report a case of thymic carcinoma that would have been mistaken for carcinoma of parathyroid because of Tc-99m MIBI and Tl-201 uptake.

  • [ $^{99m}Technetium-Heat$ ] damaged erythrocyte were used as spleen scanning agents in 12 patients from July, 1985 to April, 1986. We used this scan to evaluate situs inversus, asplenia, accessory spleen, hypersplenism, splenic infarction, tumor staging and evaluation of therapy, especially when the $^{99m}Tc-tin$ colloid scans were not definite for diagnosis. The techniques applied to these scans were in vivo/in vitro-labeling method and heating-method to damage the erythrocytes. Liver-to-spleen uptake ratios were increased upto 100 : 1 and interference from the left lobe of the liver was eliminated. These scans were helpful to evaluate the spleen.
