scintigraphy

Bone scintigraphy can also be used to follow tumor response to therapy.

Nuclear scintigraphy may also be useful in certain situations.

The result resembled nuclear scintigraphy images, showing the parts of the program most frequently used under the test conditions.

Sometimes the bone scintigraphy can show increased tracer accumulation in the soft tissues.

Planar techniques, such as conventional scintigraphy, are rarely used.

The main technique uses scintigraphy to produce two-dimensional images.

The diagnosis of bone metastases is usually performed through bone scintigraphy.

Also, scintigraphy may not differentiate clearly between neuropathy and myopathy.

The thrombus can then be detected by scintigraphy.

Confirmation can be done using scintigraphy with 99mTc tagged heat-damaged red blood cells.

Scintigraphy is unlike a diagnostic X-ray where external radiation is passed through the body to form an image.

Detection of any metastases of thyroid cancer can be performed with a full body scintigraphy using iodine-131.

Scintigraphy is a less invasive approach to the study of bowel motility than manometry.

Scintigraphy of the adrenal gland with iodocholesterol scan is occasionally necessary.

Echocardiography or thallium scintigraphy is often performed.

In addition, Scintigraphy is often very useful in localising either bony or soft tissue disorders.

CT scans or sestamibi parathyroid scintigraphy can be used in detection.

Bone scintigraphy is also an effective method for diagnosis fracture which do not appear on Xray.

The gastric emptying characteristics of the test meal were also monitored by gamma scintigraphy in a separate experiment.

Scintigraphy, creating 2-dimensional images.

In the early stages, bone scintigraphy and MRI are the diagnostic modalities of choice.

Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy: A type of radionuclide scan used to find certain tumors.

Scintigraphy is also a sensitive test in patients where endoscopy and histological examination cannot confirm the presence or absence of reflux.

Nuclear scintigraphy is one of the newest diagnostic techniques, said Dr. Beroza.

Medical activities include the construction of Positron emission tomography, nuclide based antibody therapy, and scintigraphy units.
