68 Ga DOTA-TATE (gallium-68 dotatate, GaTate) is used to measure tumor SSR density and whole-body bio-distribution via PET imaging. [11] [12] 68 Ga DOTA-TATE imagery has a much higher sensitivity and resolution compared to 111 In octreotide gamma camera or SPECT scans, due to intrinsic modality differences. [11]
SPECT image (bone tracer) of a mouse MIP Collimator used to collimate gamma rays (red arrows) in a gamma camera. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT, or less commonly, SPET) is a nuclear medicine tomographic imaging technique using gamma rays. [1]
In both trials, copper 64 Cu dotatate images were compared to either biopsy results or other images taken by different techniques to detect the sites of a tumor. [4] The images were read as either positive or negative for presence of NETs by three independent image readers who did not know participant clinical information.
Pronunciation is [stɛm] or [ɛsti:i:ɛm]. As with a conventional transmission electron microscope (CTEM), images are formed by electrons passing through a sufficiently thin specimen. However, unlike CTEM, in STEM the electron beam is focused to a fine spot (with the typical spot size 0.05 – 0.2 nm) which is then scanned over the sample in a ...
Scintigraphy (from Latin scintilla, "spark"), also known as a gamma scan, is a diagnostic test in nuclear medicine, where radioisotopes attached to drugs that travel to a specific organ or tissue (radiopharmaceuticals) are taken internally and the emitted gamma radiation is captured by gamma cameras, which are external detectors that form two-dimensional images [1] in a process similar to the ...
A gallium scan is a type of nuclear medicine test that uses either a gallium-67 (67 Ga) or gallium-68 (68 Ga) radiopharmaceutical to obtain images of a specific type of tissue, or disease state of tissue. Gallium salts like gallium citrate and gallium nitrate may be used.
[32] [34] PET-CT systems use a low-dose CT scan for AC. Since X-rays have a range of energies lower than 511 keV, AC values are closely approximated from Hounsfield units. [35] There is no correlation between MR image intensity and electron intensity, therefore conversion of MR images into an attenuation map is difficult.
Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) is a medical technique that measures bone mineral density (BMD) using a standard X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner with a calibration standard to convert Hounsfield units (HU) of the CT image to bone mineral density values. [1]
