Waldbaur, W. Walter, F. Wolf, W. Schiefer Pages Of numerous methods used in human medicine for the diagnosis of cerebral diseases, echo-encephalography, gamma-encephalography and scintigraphy have not yet been applied in veterinary medicine.

Scintigraphy is based on the principle that certain organic compounds have a greater affinity for cerebral lesions than for normal brain tissue; when such a compound is labelled with a radioactive This is a PDF-only article.

A low-radiation marker substance is administered and its distribution in the brain can then be tracked with a gamma camera and displayed as an image (scintigram).

Lewis Jon Umlauf 2-D (Planar Brain Scans) Before the advent of CT, the planar nuclear medicine brain scan, using radiopharmaceuticals such as Technetiummetastable (Tcm) diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) or Tcm-glucoheptonate (GH), was used to detect a breakdown in the blood–brain barrier (BBB).

In most cases, brain scintigraphy is performed within a few hours after the receiving of a radioactive drug. Radiologists of the private clinic “Herzliya Medical Center” can interpret results of scintigraphy within a short period, and give a comprehensive overview of the structure and the functional state of the examined organ for :// Team - Praxis für Nuklearmedizin PET-CT Zentrum [ ] Brain scintigraphy is important in nuclear medicine.

It is generally accepted that damage of the blood-brain barrier is a cause of scintigraphic visualization of a brain lesion. However, the problem in brain tumors is quite different from that in brain :// Renal transplantation is one of the most common transplant procedures performed.

Important advances have reduced short-term complications and improved long-term survival of renal allografts. Currently, the most common early transplant complication is ischemic The scintigraphy of the salivary glands is a nuclear medical examination, with which the function of the salivary glands can be evaluated.

Hereto, a low-radiation marker substance is administered. The substance accumulates in the salivary glands and emits radiation. A gamma camera records the radiation as image (scintigram). With this examination, the function and secretion [ ] Scintigraphy is highly sensitive for lesion detection and provides a functional display of skeletal metabolism.

It also provides a rapid evaluation of the total skeleton but, the appearances are nonspecific.

In a group of patients in whom brain scintigraphy with 99m Tc-pertechnetate was performed, there were 25 patients with cerebral infarction or an intracerebral hematoma due to diffuse vascular disease.

Scintigraphy was found to be a very valuable method of investigation here, especially in regard to the differentiation between cerebrovascular diesease and brain ://  The goal of cerebral scintigraphy for brain death is to determine if there is cerebral blood flow.

III. INDICATIONS Cerebral scintigraphy for brain death may be used to confirm the presence or absence of cerebral blood flow in the following situations: 1.

As part of a standardized institutional protocol for establishing brain death. Scintigraphy by MIBI and Tetrofosmin, successfully used as imaging agents in oncology (i.e.

breast and lung cancer), was also applied in diagnosis and follow-up of brain tumors. These two radiotracers are synthetic lipophilic cationic complexes and their uptake and retention depend on perfusion and cellular metabolism so that the level of
