In recent years, different minimally invasive techniques of parathyroidectomy have been described. The concept of these limited explorations is based on the fact that 85% of patients will have a single-gland disease. Minimally invasive techniques are targeted on one specific parathyroid gland and in most cases the exploration of other glands is not performed. These interventions are today possible for three main reasons: the available imaging techniques permit to localize the diseased gland, the use of rapid intraoperative PTH assay can confirm the successful extirpation, new instrumentation and miniaturized cameras have been adapted for this kind of surgery. Not all patients presenting with primary hyperparathyroidism are candidate for this surgery. Contraindications are mainly due to a large goiter, previous surgery in the parathyroid vicinity, suspicious multiglandular disease and equivocal preoperative localization studies. Currently 60% of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism can benefit of these techniques. Studies comparing conventional parathyroid surgery to minimally-invasive techniques have shown a diminution of postoperative pain and better cosmetic results with minimally-invasive techniques. If early results are similar to those obtained with conventional parathyroidectomies, it is still too soon to evaluate what will be the recurrence rate of these new techniques. One can expect that minimally invasive and conventional parathyroid surgery will probably turn out to be complementary in the near future. 相似文献

PurposeThis prospective study was conducted to determine the interest of 99mTc-MIBI pinhole SPECT compared with conventional SPECT, planar scintigraphy and ultrasonography, for the preoperative localization of parathyroid lesions in primary hyperparathyroidism.MethodsFifty-one patients cured after surgery were studied. Pinhole SPECT was reconstructed with a dedicated OSEM algorithm. Scintigraphies were analyzed visually. A diagnostic confidence score (CS) was assigned to each procedure considering intensity and extrathyroidal location of suspected lesions and was defined as follows: 0 = negative, 1 = doubtful, 2 = moderately positive, 3 = positive.ResultsSurgery revealed 55 lesions. Sensitivity of ultrasonography, planar imaging, conventional SPECT and pinhole SPECT were respectively, 51, 76, 82 and 87%. Five glands were only detected by pinhole SPECT. Combination of ultrasonography, planar and pinhole SPECT showed the highest sensitivity (94.5%). The mean CS of the 55 pathologic glands was significantly higher with pinhole SPECT compared with planar imaging and conventional SPECT (p < 0.0001). Compared with planar imaging and conventional SPECT, pinhole SPECT increased CS for 42 and 53% of parathyroid lesions, respectively, and contributed to markedly reduce the number of uncertain results. Nevertheless, planar imaging and ultrasonography were useful to analyze thyroid morphology and to detect some ectopic glands.ConclusionThe use of pinhole SPECT increases sensitivity and CS of scintigraphy. Combination of ultrasonography, planar and pinhole SPECT appears the optimal preoperative imaging procedure in primary hyperparathyroidism. 相似文献

This paper describes, from the current literature, the role of various imaging methods to assess the response to therapy in breast cancer. Two different clinical situations are considered: neoadjuvant chemotherapy of locally advanced breast cancer and the metastastic breast cancer. Significant clinical data are available for three criteria: the volume of the tumour, the uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose using PET and the perfusion of the tumor evaluated either by dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) or by PET using 15O water. 18F FDG PET allows prediction of the response after one or two cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. New approaches will offer opportunities to refine the role of imaging in monitoring the response to chemotherapy. PET using thymidine as biomarker is promising in assessing the tissular proliferation. Estrogen analogs could be used to predict hormonally responsive breast cancer. Many other approaches, although less developed, might offer new insights in the response to therapy of breast cancer like magnetic resonance spectroscopy or optical imaging of hemoglobin oxygenation. Imaging also offers potential of monitoring the down-regulation of specialized receptors of the cell membrane in response to treatment: the most studied receptor in preclinical model has been the human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2). Integrin, a family of cell adhesion receptor, is also an important target for imaging. Apoptosis, multidrug resistance and hypoxia can also be studied using appropriate biomarkers. To allow reliable multicenter trials of new drugs, these different imaging approaches still require an improved standardization of image acquisition and processing. 相似文献

Aim of the studyTo evaluate the performance of the 99mTc-Sestamibi parathyroid scintigraphy and to compare it with the performance of cervical ultrasonography in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism who are candidates for parathyroidectomy.Patients and methodsWe performed a retrospective study including 20 patients with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism who underwent parathyroid scintigraphy in the nuclear medicine department of Sfax, during the period between January 2009 and June 2012. Our two days protocol included dual-phase, MIBI/Tc subtraction and single photon emission photons (SPECT) techniques. We analyzed the results obtained from each technique alone, then from combinations thereof. For all patients, we have collected the surgical and histopathological data as well cervical ultrasound if available.ResultsThe subtraction technique was the best performing with a sensitivity of 47% and an accuracy of 55%. The combination of subtraction scintigraphy and SPECT has improved the sensitivity to 53%and accuracy to 57%. The combined lecture of ultrasound and scintigraphy has given the best performance with a sensitivity of 58%, a specificity of 83% and an accuracy of 66%.ConclusionParathyroid scintigraphy combining subtraction and SPECT showed better reliability. The coupling with ultrasound is essential to improve results. The poor performance of scintigraphy in secondary hyperparathyroidism implies that it should be required only to search for ectopic or supernumerary glands. 相似文献

IntroductionSingle photon emission computed tomography combined with a low dose computed tomography (SPECT/CT), is a hybrid imaging integrating functional and anatomical data. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the contribution of the SPECT/CT over traditional planar imaging of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC).MethodsPost-therapy iodine 131 (131I) whole-body scan followed by cervico-thoracic SPECT/CT, were performed in 100 patients with DTC.ResultsAmong these 100 patients followed for a predominantly papillary DTC, planar imaging and SPECT/CT, were perfectly concordant in 70% of patients and discordant in the remaining 30%. The use of fusion imaging SPECT/CT compared to conventional planar imaging allowed us to correct our therapeutic approach in 27% (27/100 patients), according to the protocols of therapeutic management of our institute.ConclusionSPECT/CT is a hybrid imaging modality which provides better identification and more correct anatomic localization of the foci of radioiodine uptake with impact on therapeutic management. 相似文献

Aim99mTc-Sestamibi is used in the imaging of hyperparathyroidism in order to guide the surgical procedure and to propose methods of less invasive surgery. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficiency of preoperative subtraction parathyroid scintigraphy (Sestamibi-99mTc/Pertechnetate) in the management of secondary hyperparathyroidism.Patients and methodsThe records of 33 patients with renal impairment consecutively operated from 2009 to 2011 for secondary hyperparathyroidism were retrospectively reviewed. We collected data on parathyroid function, results of parathyroid scintigraphy, intraoperative findings and pathological findings.ResultsScintigraphy was positive in 32 patients by disclosing a total of 75 hyperplastic parathyroid glands. The surgical exploration of all parathyroid glands revealed 99 hyperplastic glands confirmed by histological analysis. The sensitivity of parathyroid scintigraphy was 70.7% with a specificity of 85%. Positive predictive value was 93.3%, while negative predictive value was 50%. No correlation was found between the values of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcemia measured preoperatively and scintigraphic results.Discussion and conclusionIn our study, the correlation of scintigraphic data with PTH and serum calcium is not statistically significant. However, owing to a high positive predictive value, the parathyroid scan should be indicated. Value of parathyroid scintigraphy extends to searching ectopic or supernumerary glands and especially in cases of persistent or recurrent hyperparathyroidism. 相似文献

The group of large vessel vasculitis includes giant cell arthritis and Takayasu's disease. If monophotonic nuclear medicine can sometimes show some unusual patterns in these diseases, positron emission tomography with fluorodeoxyglucose seems have a special attract and provide some indications during the monitoring of these patients. However, most of these indications remain to be validated, specially to differentiate weak vascular wall inflammatory activities from physiological and/or atherosclerotic accumulation. 相似文献

Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography-Computerized Tomography (SPECT-CT) is a new hybrid technique which offers new diagnostical capabilities in daily nuclear medicine practice. This technique not only allows to acquire fusioned anatomic and functional images in the same time, but also, it increases sensitivity and accuracy of SPECT thanks to attenuation and scattering corrections got from transmission data. Until now, SPECT-CT data have been mainly obtained in oncology and cardiology, but now, many authors use it in many scan studies and particularly for infectious diseases. In inflammatory bowel diseases, SPECT-CT seems to increase diagnostical performances and to modify management of many patients. In suspected vascular sepsis, SPECT-CT could increase sensitivity of white blood cell scintigraphy but also its specificity thanks to spatial resolution of CT. In osteoarticular sepsis, SPECT-CT has the advantage to distinguish osteomyelitis from soft tissue infection and to guide biopsies. Nevertheless, in the light of PET-CT works, SPECT-CT development will probably modify nuclear medicine practice and many studies have to be conducted to highlight consensual procedure guidelines. 相似文献

IntroductionThe osteoid osteoma is a major bone benign tumors in children. It is more common in boys. The femoral and tibial locations account for 50% of cases. Clinically, it is revealed by nocturnal pain relieved by aspirin. The pain may precede by several months the radiographic abnormality. The purpose of our work is to elucidate the contribution of SPECT/CT in addition to the planar bone scintigraphy in the diagnosis and treatment of osteoid osteoma about two cases.Case reportClinical case No. 1: a 10-year-old child who presented a limp nocturnal pain in the left hip evolving for 4 months. The radiograph of the pelvis showed bone condensation subtrochanteric left femur. SPECT/CT showed an image for an osteoid osteoma. Surgical resection of the home revealed in the histological study an osteoid osteoma of the left femoral neck. The evolution was marked by an immediate pain relief and full recovery of the left lower limb mobility. Clinical case No. 2: an 11-year-old child who had a limp nocturnal pain at the upper end of the left femur evolving for 2 months. The pain was paroxysmal, relieved by salicylates. The X-ray of the pelvis showed a metaphyseal image with peripheral condensation and thickening of the cortex. SPECT/CT showed an image for an osteoid osteoma. The intervention was a tumor excision resection. Histopathological examination revealed a small nidus consistent with an osteoid osteoma. The evolution was marked by an immediate pain relief and normalization of the mobility of the left lower limb.DiscussionThe SPECT/CT can increase the sensitivity and specificity of planar bone scintigraphy. It confirms the location of osteoid osteoma and defines its anatomical relationships in order to optimize surgical management.ConclusionThe SPECT/CT contributes significantly to the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma when radiological images are atypical or unusual clinical expression. 相似文献

We report the case of a 36-year old patient, referred for parathyroid imaging in a context of hyperparathyroidism. He had a history of congenital bilateral renal hypoplasia treated by four successive transplantations, the last one in July 2011. In 1990, a total parathyroidectomy with autologous parathyroid tissue graft in the right forearm has been performed for secondary hyperparathyroidism. However, hypocalcaemia persisted (2.78 mmol/L), associated with high levels of PTH (1329 pg/mL), even after the last renal transplantation. Neck ultrasound and parathyroid scintigraphy images did not show any cervical or thoracic ectopic parathyroid tissue, while right forearm incidences revealed a high uptake focus corresponding to the autonomisation of the parathyroid transplanted tissue. A brief review of the literature evaluating the benefits of this type of intervention is presented. 相似文献

To describe percutaneous embolization of varicocele and to evaluate the effect on fertility disorders.Materials and methods
One hundred nineteen patients, aged 11 to 48 years, underwent percutaneous embolization for varicocele indicated by a fertility disorder in 23% of cases. Correction of the varicocele and resolution of associated pain, improvement of testicular trophicity and the effect on fertility were studied and a review of the literature was performed.Results
Percutaneous embolization was performed using neuroleptanalgesia on an outpatient basis. The technique combined venous sclerotherapy and placement of coils in the gonadal vein. The technique was successful in 95% of cases and one complication was observed. At 3 months, the varicocele and related pain had resolved in 98% of treated patients. According to previous reports in the literature, the relations between varicocele and fertility disorders are still unclear, but improvement of fertility (semen quality and conception rates) after varicocele repair has been established.Conclusion
Although the consequences of varicocele on fertility have not been fully elucidated, treatment of varicocele appears to be beneficial. Percutaneous embolization of varicocele is a safe and effective alternative to surgery. This technique, based on a urological and radiological consensus, is the first-line treatment for varicocele in our institution. 相似文献14.

This paper reports the results of a preliminary study evaluating the feasibility and performance of a first whole body hybrid PET/MR scanner allowing sequential acquisition of co-registered MR and PET images. Sixty-two patients underwent whole body PET/MR imaging immediately after a clinical PET/CT. The hybrid device consists of a 3T MR and a time-of-flight PET scanner sharing a single bed allowing sequential acquisition of co-registered MR and PET images. Imaging protocols included a whole body MR used for attenuation correction of PET followed by high-resolution diagnostic MR. Image analysis included visual identification of radiotracer uptake in tumors and measurement of standardized uptake values (SUV) in tumoral lesions and in normal organs. PET images acquired in the PET/MR with a delay of 85 ± 22 minutes (range 49–120 minutes) showed perfect correlation and identical diagnostic quality compared to PET/CT. In 42 patients (68%), additional high-resolution MR sequences were acquired for clinical diagnosis showing excellent quality without any visually detectable artifacts. SUV measurements of tumor lesions obtained after correction with MR attenuation maps showed an excellent correlation with PET/CT (R2 = 0.89 and R2 = 0.95 for mean and maximum tissue uptake respectively). Due to the delay between the two studies, changes in tracer uptake biodistribution of normal tissue were observed. Our preliminary data show that whole body PET/MR is clinically applicable in oncologic patients yielding a comparable diagnostic performance as PET/CT with respect to lesion detection and localization. 相似文献

Cancer is the leading cause of death in developed countries. About 365,500 new cases have been diagnosed in France in 2012 according to French National Cancer Institute. To break the cancer constitutes a traumatism for the patient. For the clinical oncologist, this is a well-known cause of professional burnout syndrome. Nuclear physicians seem to be often asked for results after an exam by the patient. The delivery of cancer diagnosis will be presented form the perspective of the patient, the clinical oncologist and the nuclear physician. 相似文献

ObjectivesThis study aims to assess performances of preoperative conventional imaging (99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy, cervical Ultrasonography) and 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT (FCH PET/CT) exams in the detection of hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland(s) in patients operated from primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT).MethodsBefore surgery, 51 consecutive patients with biochemically confirmed pHPT had successively cervical ultrasonography (cUS), 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy and FCH PET/CT, all performed in the same Nuclear Medicine Department. 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy were performed immediatly after cUS and interpreted by same operators. FCH PET/CT exam were interpreted independently by two nuclear medicine physicians. An additional interpretation session integrating the three imaging modalities read in consensus as a combined imaging set was performed.ResultsAt surgery, 69 lesions were removed: 32 parathyroid adenoma and 37 parathyroid hyperplasia. 70% of patients had single-gland disease and 30% had multiglandular disease at histopathology analysis. In the patient-based analysis, sensitivity and accuracy in the detection of single gland disease) for FCH PET/CT, cUS and for 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy were 86% [0.71–0.94] and 86% [0.70–0.95], 69% [0.52–0.81] and 69% [0.51–0.83], 40% [0.26–0.56] and 40% [0.24–0.58], respectively. Sensitivity and accuracy of the combined imaging set for the detection of single gland disease were 94% [0.81–0.99] and 94% [0.81–0.99].ConclusionOur results suggest that cUS/99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy and FCH PET/CT interpreted during a comprehensive session could be the ideal practice to precisely localize parathyroid lesion(s) in patients with pHPT before surgery. 相似文献

According to Thonneauet al., (1991), 14% of couples are subfertile. In at least 59% of the cases, a male factor was involved. This indicates that 8% (14% × 59%) of men are hypofertile. Since several causes can induce male infertility and because of the heterogeneous criteria and classifications used in the literature, the percentage of each etiologic factor has not been very precisely established. In a population of 2072 consecutive patients we identified an alteration of spermatogenesis in 52% of the cases. This indicates that about 4% of men might have a spermatogenic problem. The spermatogenic insufficiency was isolated in 43% of the cases (i.e. 23% of the total population) or associated with post-testicular causes of male infertility (infectious/inflammatory; autoimmune; obstructive) in 57% of the cases (i.e. 30% of the total population studied). An etiologic factor is clinically identified for 64% of the patients presenting with a spermatogenic insufficiency. The most relevant risk factors linked to spermatogenic alteration were history of mumps orchitis (OR [IC95%]=14,6 [3,4–62,3]), history of radiotherapy-chemotherapy (OR=14,7 [3,4–63,2]). These situations were found with a low frequency (1,4% and 1,3% of the cases respectively) but provoked a spermatogenic alteration in a large majority of cases (92,9% and 92,3% respectively). On the other hand, varicoceles (OR=3,7 [2,9–4,8]) and troubles in testicular descend (OR=2,9 [2,3–3,7]), were more frequent (20,6% and 20,1% of the cases respectively), but less frequently associated with spermatogenic insufficiency (in 73,7 and 69,6% of the cases). 相似文献

IntroductionToxic thyroid adenoma is an evolutive condition requiring radical treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the contribution of 131 in the treatment of toxic thyroid adenoma.Patients and methodsThis is a retrospective study of patients treated with iodine 131 for toxic thyroid adenoma. The diagnosis of toxic adenoma is confirmed by scintigraphy and/or ultrasound. Data collected were age, sex, previous treatments, pre treatment hormonal status, radioiodine activity received and post therapy hormonal status.Results and conclusionWe have 45 women to seven men with a sex ratio of 6.42. Mean age of our patients is 53 years. Mean age for women at time of treatment is 57.33 years and 52.85 years for men. 98.07% of our patients treated with iodine 131 gained euthyroidism or became hypothyroid vs. 1.92% in whom hyperthyroidism persisted. These results are comparable to literature. Moroccan patients socioeconomic status pleads for an expansion of use of radioiodine in toxic thyroid adenoma due to its favourable cost/effectiveness ratio. 相似文献

Centrally generated signals from premotor areas play a key role in voluntary muscle force perception. Indeed, sensations of effort, rather than sensations of intramuscular tension, make it possible to evaluate the intensity of willed muscle forces. We suggest that the sense of effort is involved in agency, the cognitive process by which one is aware of one’s actions. We argue that effort awareness accompanies each action and is the key component of the feeling of will. In delusions of alien control, patients with schizophrenia do not recognize some of their acts as their own and are convinced that they are under the control of someone else. Some experimental data suggest that delusions of control are related to an altered awareness of effort and an exaggerated awareness of afferent neural information, caused by neurological disorders in the frontal and parietal lobes. This impairment could lead to the inability to identify the author of an action. In this pathological condition, the cerebral state coding for “I intend to act” might move toward the state coding for “someone else intends to act”, even in the absence of another agent. 相似文献
