The extraction of the hepatobiliary radiopharmaceutical 99m Tc-mebrofenin ( Choletec ) by the liver can be used to evaluate the severity of hepatocellular disease. The hepatic parenchymal cells extract mebrofenin from the blood by the same active transport mechanism as bilirubin. The ability of the liver to extract 99m Tc-membrofenin is a measure of hepatic parenchymal cell function. In this study, we induced hepatocellular disease by administration of a hepatotoxic drug and compared a direct method of determining the hepatic extraction of 99m Tc-membrofenin to hepatic extraction fraction derived from deconvolutional analysis. We also compared both methods of calculating the hepatic extraction of 99m Tc-membrofenin to liver histopathology. Hepatic extraction fraction derived from deconvolutional analysis correlated very well to the direct measurement technique (R=0.922, p<0.001). Both methods of determining hepatic extraction correlated well to quantitative histopathology, having the same correlation coefficient and p values. (R=-0.833, p=0.003). As the hepatic extraction 99m Tc-membrofenin decreased, the severity of the histopathologic lesions of the liver increased in a linear fashion. There was a significant correlation of the hepatic excretion T1/2 to quantititative histopathology (R=0.949, p<0.001). The hepatic excretion T1/2 increased as the severity of the histopathologic lesions of the liver increased. Hepatic extraction (HEF) and excretion of 99m Tc-membrofenin are good predictors of the severity of hepatocellular damage in toxic induced liver disease. This study helps validate the premise that HEF derived from deconvolutional analysis ois a good predictor of the actual first pass hepatic extraction of 99m Tc-membrofenin. 相似文献

Quantitative hepatobiliary scintigraphy using 99m Tc-2,6 diisopropylphenylcarbamoylmethyl iminodiacetic acid (DISIDA) was performed in normal dogs. 99m Tc-DISIDA is excreted by the hepatocyte into the biliary tract. Hepatic blood flow from arterial and portal venous sources was measured as the hepatic perfusion index. The hepatic clearance of the radiopharmaceutical was used to assess hepatocyte function and parenchymal biliary transport. Biliary ejection was evaluated using synthetic cholecystokinin infusion. The procedure should be useful in evaluating dogs with hepatic and biliary disease. 相似文献

Localization of 99m Tc-MDP in lymph nodes was apparent on the three-hour bone-scan image in seven dogs. In six dogs injection or leakage of the radiopharmaceutical into the perivascular tissues was associated with subsequent uptake in an ipsilateral lymph node. In the remaining dog, 99m Tc-MDP localized in a lymph node infiltrated by metastatic osteosarcoma. This aided staging of the tumor. Possible mechanisms of 99m Tc-MDP localization in soft tissues are briefly reviewed. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies specific for Dirofilaria immitis were labeled with technetium-99m (99m Tc) and tested in vivo in five heartworm positive and five heartworm negative dogs. Diethlyenetriaminepentaactic acid (DTPA) was used to label the 99m Tc to the antibody. Radiochemical purity of the 99m Tc-labeled antibodies (99m Tc-MoAb) was determined by gel filtration and by instant thin-layer chromatography. The uptake percentages in the blood, heart, lung, liver, and kidneys were determined from tissues obtained at necropsy and by computer analysis of images obtained at two and 24 hours. The percent uptake in the heart region of interest (ROI) at two hours was significantly higher in the heartworm-positive dogs. There was significant correlation between the uptake in the heart at two hours to the number and activity of the worms at necropsy. 相似文献

Technetium-99m stannous colloid (99m TcSnC) has been used to radiolabel human leukocytes to investigate various inflammatory disorders. We investigated the in vitro behavior of feline leukocytes labeled in whole blood with 99m TcSnC. Heparinized blood samples were collected from healthy cats and divided into control and test aliquots. The latter were labeled with 99m TcSnC using a standard procedure. Leukocyte viability was determined for each sample using a trypan blue exclusion test. Labeling efficiency was determined for test aliquots. Test aliquots were layered onto Histopaque-1077® and centrifuged before measurement of radioactivity of the blood components. Leukocytes from radiolabeled and control samples were washed and incubated with opsonized zymosan particles to allow assessment of phagocytic function. Aliquots were taken from radiolabeled feline leukocyte samples at 1, 3, 4, and 7 h postlabelling. After centrifugation of each aliquot, radioactivity of the supernatant and pellet was measured and the labeling retention determined. Leukocyte viability in both radiolabeled and control samples was >98%. The labeling efficiency was 95.2±0.14%. The distribution of radioactivity in feline blood was found to be 3.4±0.18% in plasma, 39.0±0.37% in erythrocytes, and 57.6±0.38% in leukocytes. Labeled feline leukocytes had phagocytic activity of 90.9±0.18% (control 91.3±0.15%). The radiolabeled leukocytes retained 93.4±0.19% of the radioactivity up to 7 h postlabeling. 99m TcSnC efficiently labeled feline leukocytes with no effect on viability and minimal effect on phagocytic function. The percentage retention of radioactivity by the leukocytes was still high at 7 h postlabeling. 相似文献

Technetium-99m hexamethylpropyleneamine oxine (99m Tc-HMPAO) and Indium-111 oxine (111 In-oxine) labeled canine gramulocytes were evaluated in vitro over a six hour period. Labeling efficiency for 99m TC-HMPAO and 111 In-oxine labeled granulocytes was 39.6%± 8.0% and 60.6%± 17.6% (mean ± SD) respectively. The mean in vitro elution of the radiolabel ranged from 8.7-14.0% for the 99m Tc-HMPAO grannulocytes and from 6.1-9.0% for the 111 In-oxine granulocytes. Mean cell viability, for the 99m Tc-HMPAO, 111 In-oxine and non-radiolabeled control granulocytes ranged from 97.8-99.4%, 96.4-98.5% and 98.2-99.0%, respectively. The phagocytic ability of the 99m Tc-HMPAO, 111 In-oxine and control granulocytes ranged from 47.5-54.1%, 38.9-56.2% and 46.6-57.8% respectively over the six hour study period. Although labeling efficiency using 111 In-oxine was significantly (P=0.05) better than 99m Tc-HMPAO, there was no significant difference in label retention of the two radiolabels. There was no significant difference in viability or phagocytic function during the six hour study period. Considering the potential cost advantage and the superior imaging qualities of Technetium-99m relative to Indium-111, 99m Tc-HMPAO appears to be a good alternative to 111 In-oxine as a granulocyte label. 相似文献

Per-rectal portal scintigraphy using tech-netium-99m pertechnetate (99m TcO4 - ) was performed in 8 normal dogs before and after surgical creation of a portacaval shunt. Shunt fractions were calculated by computer assisted analysis of dynamic images (IMG) and compared to shunt fractions determined by mesenteric venous injection of radioactive microspheres (MIC). The mean pre-operative shunt fraction was 1.59% using IMG and 3.00% using MCI. The mean postoperative shunt fraction was 64.56% using IMG and 69.56% using MIC. There was excellent correlation between both methods (r2 0.94). Per-rectal portal scintigraphy is an easily performed, inexpensive method to diagnose and quantify portosystemic shunts in dogs. 相似文献

This report describes the use of 99m technetium pertechnetate (99m TcO4 − ) and 131 [for imaging of a metastatic thyroid carcinoma in a dog. The 131 ] imaging showed metastatic lesions undetected by the 99m TcO4 − imaging on 2 separate occasions. The possible mechanisms for the discrepancies between 131 I and 99m TcO4 − imaging of thyroid carcinomas are discussed. The use of 131 I for the imaging of functional thyroid carcinomas in the dog is recommended. 相似文献

The following sequence of treatments was administered to a Saint Bernard dog with a primary distal right radius osteosarcoma: 54 days of daily disodium 1-hydroxyethylidenediphosphonate (HEDP) subcutaneous injections; 53 days of HEDP per os ; one 32 P-HEDP intravenous injection. During the pretreatment period, there was an extensive increase in calcific tumor growth and osteoblastic proliferation. After the subcutaneous HEDP treatment, almost complete tumor necrosis was seen. After the oral HEDP treatment, only the deepest tumor portion contained active osteoblasts, calcific growth of the tumor was completely blocked, and uptake of 99m Tc-Sn-HEDP was reduced to one fourth of the pretreatment uptake. After a single 32 P-HEDP dose, large areas of tumor necrosis were evident histopathologically. However, subsequent resumption of cellular activity occurred in the tumor, and the uptake of 99m Tc-Sn-HEDP increased to pretreatment values. These data suggest that systemically administered HEDP should be studied further for its possible therapeutic potential in the treatment of osteosarcoma and indicate a need for further study of 32 P-HEDP or possibly 33 P-HEDP. 相似文献

Shunt fraction was determined using transcolonic 123 I-iodoamphetamine (IMP) and portal vein injection of 99m Tc-macroaggregated albumin (MAA) in a group of eight dogs with chronic cirrhosis and acquired portosystemic shunts subsequent to total common bile duct ligation. Hepatic parenchymal damage was confirmed by alterations in liver function tests and liver histology. Seven of the eight dogs developed portal hypertension and had angiographic evidence of hepatofugal portal blood flow with multiple peripheral portosystemic anastomoses. Shunt fractions determined in the seven dogs with shunts varied from 39 to 100 using IMP and 45 to 93 using MAA. The remaining dog had normal portal pressure, a normal portal angiogram, and normal IMP and MAA scintigraphic studies. There was an excellent correlation between the two methods of shunt fraction calculation (R2 = 0.98) and the line of regression was not significantly different from unity (IMP = 1.09 × MAA - 0.03). 相似文献

In this study, heart time-activity curve, created following intravenous injection of 99mTc-mebrofenin were used to quantify hepatic function in normal dogs and dogs with induced hepatic parenchymal cell damage. The results were compared to a direct measurement of hepatic extraction following mesenteric venous injection of 99mTc-mebrofenin. The heart time-activity curves were normalized and the area under the curve from 0-30 minutes and 0-60 minutes were determined. In addition, the half-time clearance rate of the heart time-activity curve was analyzed using a two-compartment model. Linear regression analysis was used to describe the relationship between the area under the normalized heart time-activity curve and hepatic extraction. There was good correlation between the area under the normalized heart time-activity curve and hepatic extraction. The best correlation was obtained from the 0-30 minute data (r2 = 0.92). A formula for calculating hepatic extraction was derived using linear regression analysis: Hepatic extraction = 1.092 - (0.0000308 x AUC0-30 minutes). There was good correlation between the half-time clearance rates from the heart time-activity curve and hepatic extraction. The best correlation was between the fast phase half-time clearance and hepatic extraction (r2 = 0.88). The area under a normalized heart time-activity curve can be used as a simple alternative to deconvolutional analysis for the determination of hepatic extraction as a measure of hepatic parenchymal cell function in the dog. 相似文献

Thyroidal 99m TcO4 (pertechnetate) uptake percentages were determined in unanesthetized euthyroid (n = 13) and hyperthyroid (n = 18) cats. Maximal uptakes were observed 60 minutes after IV injection of the radionuclide and ranged from 0.3 to 3.9% of the dose in euthyroid cats (median 2.23%) and from 5.2% to 23.9% of the dose in hyperthyroid cats (median 14.8%) ( P < .05). There were no overlaps in pertechnetate uptake percentages during any of the intervals evaluated. It is concluded that the optimal time for visualization of the thyroid by 99m TcO4 -scanning is 60 minutes after IV injection of the radionuclide. Calculation of the percentage uptake is of additional diagnostic value. 相似文献

Technetium-99m methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (sestamibi) imaging of malignant canine lymphoma was performed in thirteen dogs 1 hour after intravenous injection of 99m Tc-sestamibi at 13 MBq (0.35 mCi) per kilogram body weight. Abnormal tracer uptake was visualized in the liver, spleen, bone marrow, and mesenteric, inguinal, popliteal, sternal, cranial cervical and mandibular lymph nodes. Radiopharmaceutical uptake was also noted in a nasal mass. One large neoplastic renal mass did not have demonstrable sestamibi uptake. Other regions had no significant difference in the target:background ratios when compared with values from normal dogs ( P > 0.05). 99m Tc-sestamibi can be used to image malignant lymphoma, and has potential applications in the management of patients to document response to treatment and to stage of extent of disease. 相似文献

The scintigraphic characteristics of lymph nodes draining the ventral body wall were analyzed in 12 dogs as to their pattern of appearance and image contrast. Each dog was scanned using 99m Tc-antimony sulfide colloid and 99m Tc-dextran, and the imaging characteristics of these agents were compared. A large degree of variability exists in the number and pattern of lymph node appearance with either agent. No significant difference in average numbers of lymph nodes per dog was shown between agents. However, 99m Tc-antimony sulfide colloid provided a significantly (p<.05) better target-to-background ratio, which determines the contrast with which lymph nodes stand out from background activity. From these findings, it is suggested that too great a variability in lymph node appearance exists using this procedure to allow a high degree of confidence in the diagnosis of metastasis to lymph nodes of the ventral body wall. However, for other purposes, 99m Tc-antimony sulfide colloid is the lymphoscintigraphic agent of choice. 相似文献

The scintigraphically measured percentage dose uptake of 99m Tc-DTPA by the kidneys and the plasma clearance of 99m Tc-DTPA have been reported to correlate well with inulin clearance. These two parameters were evaluated in seven dogs with known or suspected naturally occurring renal disease and compared to simultaneously measured renal inulin clearance. Correlation between inulin clearance and the 99m Tc-DTPA plasma clearance was better ( p =.0016) than the correlation between the percentage DTPA uptake by the kidney. It was concluded that measurement of 99m Tc-DTPA plasma clearance is a more accurate method to estimate global glomerular filtration rate (GFR) than the percentage kidney uptake. 相似文献

Frequency of pulmonary mineralization and hypoxemia in 21 dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of hypoxemia and pulmonary mineralization using 99m Tc-methylene diphosphonate (99m Tc-MDP) in dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH). Twenty-one dogs with PDH were pro-spectively evaluated using thoracic radiography, arterial blood gas analysis, and bone phase and pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy (using 99m Tc-macro-aggregated albumin [99m Tc-MAA]). The radiographs and bone and perfusion studies were evaluated subjectively. An averaged quantitative count density ratio was calculated between the thorax and cranial thoraco-lumbar vertebrae from lateral thoracic 99m Tc-MDP images. Thoracic: vertebral ratios were calculated using 99m Tc-MDP studies from 21 control dogs. The thoracic: vertebral ratios were compared between the 2 groups (PDH and control). The mean age (±SD) of the 21 PDH dogs was 10.2 (±3) years, whereas the mean age of the control group was 9.8 (±3) years. Seven of the 21 dogs with PDH were hypoxemic (denned as an arterial partial pressure of oxygen [PaO2 ] <80 mm Hg) with an average PaO2 (±SD) of 62 (±15) mm Hg. Of the 7 hypoxemic dogs, 2 were found to have pulmonary mineralization based on bone scintigraphic images. Pulmonary perfusion abnormalities were not identified using 99m Tc-MAA in any of the 21 PDH dogs. Six PDH dogs had an abnormal interstitial pulmonary pattern and 5 of these dogs were hypoxemic. The average quantitative thoracic: vertebral ratio was not significantly different between the PDH and control dogs (0.5 ± 0.4 versus 0.4 ± 0.1, P = .16). Causes of hypoxemia other than pulmonary thromboembolism should be considered in dogs with PDH. Pulmonary mineralization may contribute to hypoxemia in dogs with PDH. 相似文献

In this study, plasma time-activity curves of 99mTc-mebrofenin were used to quantify hepatic function in dogs before and after induction of hepatic damage using a hepatotoxic agent. Nine dogs were determined to be healthy on the basis of physical examination, laboratory data and hepatic imaging. Plasma samples were collected 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 minutes following a peripheral venous injection of 111-222 MBq (3-6 mCi) of 99mTc-mebrofenin. The area under the plasma time-activity curve (AUC) was calculated using two different methods and compared to direct measurement of the hepatic extraction efficiency. First pass hepatic extraction efficiency of 99mTc-mebrofenin was calculated from differential equation analysis of a two-compartment model following mesenteric venous injection of the radiopharmaceutical. In 7 of the original 9 dogs and 2 additional healthy dogs, plasma clearance and hepatic extraction efficiency determination were repeated following induction of hepatic injury by thiacetarsamide (3 mg/kg IV twice daily for 1 day). In one additional dog, hepatic injury was induced using carbon tetrachloride (0.3 ml/kg IP). Plasma time-activity curves of 99mTc-mebrofenin had kinetics of a two compartment model. Area under the curve was highly correlated with hepatic extraction efficiency. The AUC integrated from 1-60 minutes (AUC60) had the best correlation with hepatic extraction efficiency (r2 = 0.978, p < 0.001). A formula for calculation of hepatic extraction efficiency was derived using linear regression analysis: hepatic extraction efficiency = 105.583 - 3.099 x 10(5) x AUC60. Plasma clearance of a peripheral venous injection of 99mTc-mebrofenin is a simple, non-invasive, convenient method to quantify hepatic function which can be performed without a gamma camera. 相似文献

Thyroid scintigraphy using sodium 99m Technetium pertechnetate (99 TcO4 -) was performed in normal and radiothyroidectomized cockatiels ( Nymphicus hollandicus ). 131 I scintigraphy was performed in the course of ablating the thyroid glands. The thyroid glands in normal birds were clearly visualized, but were not individually resolvable. Thyroid glands were not visualized in thyroid-ablated birds. With 99m TcO4 scans, thyroid (or other region of interest)/body count density ratios were used for comparisons of normal and thyroid-ablated birds. Normal 99m TcO4 - thyroid/body ratios (mean +/− SD) for the dorsal and lateral views were 1.83 +/− 0.31 and 1.70 +/− 0.34 respectively. Pertechnetate thyroid/body count density ratios decreased (to 0.93 -/−0.14 and 0.88 +/− 0.12 for dorsal and lateral views respectively) after thyroid ablation, while crop/body ratios increased. 99m TcO4 - thyroid scintigraphy, therefore, was capable of detecting hypofunctional thyroid abnormalities in 131 I radiothyroidectomized cockatiels. 相似文献

The existence of hypothyroidism in greyhounds remains controversial and its investigation is complicated by the low circulating thyroid hormone concentrations typically found in healthy dogs of this breed. Quantitative measurement of thyroidal technetium-99m pertechnetate (99m TcO4 − ) uptake is known to be useful in assessing thyroid function in other breeds. The aim of this study was to evaluate thyroid scintigraphy as a method of assessing thyroid function in greyhounds suspected of primary hypothyroidism. Twenty greyhounds (eight females, 12 males) were studied. Thirteen had bald thigh syndrome and seven poor performance and low total T4. Total T4 concentrations were decreased in 18 (90%), and free T4 in two (10%) dogs. All canine thyroid stimulating hormone concentrations were within the reference interval. Thyroidal 99m TcO4 − uptake values (mean ± SD, 0.76 ± 0.26%) were within the reference limits published for euthyroid dogs (0.39–1.86%) making hypothyroidism highly unlikely. There were no significant differences ( P <0.05) when comparing data between dogs with bald thigh syndrome (13 dogs) and the remaining dogs (seven dogs). Seventeen (85%) dogs had higher uptake in the left thyroid gland than in the right that might reflect an anatomic feature of the greyhound breed. Calculation of percent thyroidal uptake of 99m TcO4 − is more accurate than thyroid:salivary gland ratios because of high variability in salivary gland uptake. Percent thyroidal uptake of 99m TcO4 − should be used when assessing thyroid function scintigraphically in the greyhound breed. 相似文献

Thyroid imaging using technetium-99m as pertechnetate (99m TcO4 ) was carried out in five healthy, euthyroid and 37 hyperthyroid cats using both pinhole and parallel-hole collimators. Images of greater resolution, necessary to distinguish bilateral lobe involvement, were obtained using the pinhole collimator. Per cent thyriod 99m TcO4 - uptake was calculated in each cat and was significanly (P < 0.001) higher in hyperthyroid compared with euthyroid cats. In the hyperthyroid cats, per cent thyroid uptake was significantly correlated with serum total thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) Concentrations. Per cent thyroid 99m TcO4 - uptake is increased in feline hyperthyrodism and may be calculated using a pinhole collimator alone at the time of qalitative assessment of the extent of thyroid tissue involvement. 相似文献
