Selective IgA deficiency (sIgAD) is the most common primary immunodeficiency disease (PID),
with an estimated occurrence from about 1:3000 to even 1:150, depending on population. …

99m Tc-hydrazinonicotinamide-Tyr 3 -octreotide ( 99m Tc-HYNIC-TOC) is increasingly
gaining acceptance as a new radiopharmaceutical for the diagnosis of pathologic lesions …

Background: This study assessed the radiation safety at Nuclear Medicine Department being
a work environment. Ionizing radiation exposure of the employees in the last 19 years and …

We investigated the quantitative accuracy of SPECT/CT imaging studies as would be performed
before and after targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) using phantom experiments with (i) …

Objective Our aim was to design a practical and reproducible image segmentation method
for calculations of total absorbed doses in organs and tumours for internally delivered …

Staff at nuclear medicine departments receive doses of ionising radiation higher than the staff
of radiotherapy and radiology departments, with the exception of interventional radiologists…

Objectives Dead-time (DT) effects rarely cause problems in diagnostic single-photon emission
computed tomography (SPECT) studies; however, in post-radionuclide-therapy imaging, …

BBACKGROUND: The aim of this paper was to analyse our own semi-quantitative method
of assessing focal lesions localised in pre-operative diagnostic scintigraphy of primary …

The appropriate radiation protection measures applied in departments of nuclear medicine
should lead to a reduction in doses received by the employees. During 1991–2007, at the …

SPECT/CT imaging is transitioning from solely qualitative applications to quantitative
analysis. Quantitative SPECT/CT systems require proper calibration, optimization and quality …
