AbstractAbstract
[en] 123I-Isopropyl-Amphetamine (IMP) allows scintigraphic imaging of regional cerebral blood flow. A method was developed for measuring the ratio of IMP-uptake in the brain using an automatic ROI-technique. The measured ratios in patients with cerebral stroke showed a significant difference compared to normals and patients with transitoric ischemic attack (TIA). Using frontal slices a significant difference was also obtained between patients with TIA and normals. (orig.)

123J-Isopropyl-Amphetamin (IMP) ermoeglicht die szintigraphische Darstellung des regionalen cerebralen Blutflusses. Eine Methode wurde entwickelt, um anhand automatisch generierter Regions of Interest einen hemisphaerenbezogenen Quotienten des IMP-Uptakes zu bilden. Die ermittelten Quotienten bei Patienten mit Insult zeigten einen signifikanten Unterschied zu Normalen und zu Patienten mit transitorischer ischaemischer Attacke (TIA). Anhand der frontalen Schnitte konnte ebenso ein signifikanter Unterschied zwischen Patienten mit TIA und Normalen gefunden werden. (orig.)Original Title

AbstractAbstract
[en] The aim of this publication is to give a review of today's nuclear-medicine methods (NM) in differential diagnosis of intrahepatic space-occupying lesions, and to point out the importance of these techniques. Function oriented dynamic studies using Tc-99m-labelled red blood cells in combination with Tc-99m-labelled IDA in hepatobiliary sequential scintigraphy play an important role in differential diagnosis of intrahepatic focal lesions such as FNH (focal nodular hyperplasia), hemangioma, hepatoma and metastases. The specific kinetics of the different tracers used in cases of various tumours is shown. To differentiate sonographic lesions a prospective study comprising 66 patients was conducted. The examination was performed as a blood-pool-scintigraphy and as a Tc-99m-IDA-scan. All patients underwent CT-scan. The purpose of our study was to show the value of these specific NM techniques as compared to ultrasound (US) and CT. NM-techniques were found to provide more specific diagnostic results in different intrahepatic tumours than CT could. These results suggest the following procedure in diagnostic imaging: Lesions smaller than 1 cm in diameter should be controlled by US. At first NM-methods should be performed with lesions greater than 1 cm or in cases of known malignoma, NM-techniques should be employed first. In most of the cases these will already enable for an unambiguous tumour differentation. (orig.)

Die vorliegende Arbeit soll die Bedeutung nicht-invasiver, funktionsorientierter nuklearmedizinischer Untersuchungstechniken speziell in der Differentialdiagnostik intrahepatischer Raumforderungen aufzeigen. Hierbei kommt der Blood-Pool-Szintigraphie mit Tc-99m-markierten Erythrozyten in ihrer Kombination mit der hepato-biliaeren Funktionsszintigraphie bei der Differenzierung fokaler intrahepatischer Laesionen, wie Haemangiom, Hepatom, FNH (fokale nodulaere Hyperplasie) und Metastasen ein hoher Stellenwert zu. Die spezifische Radiopharmakokinetik der angewandten Tracer bei den verschiedenen intrahepatischen Tumoren wird beschrieben. Es wurden in einer prospektiven Studie 66 Patienten untersucht, bei denen sonographisch eine intrahepatische Raumforderung auffiel. Die Untersuchung wurde als Blood-Pool-Untersuchung und als hepato-biliaere Funktionsszintigraphie durchgefuehrt. Es lag bei allen Patienten ein Computertomogramm mit Kontrastmittelgabe (CT) vor. Ziel der Studie war es, den Wert und die spezifische Aussage der nuklearmedizinischen Untersuchungstechniken im Vergleich zu Ultraschall und CT aufzuzeigen. Im direkten Vergleich mit CT waren die nuklearmedizinischen Untersuchungstechniken in der Einordnung der intrahepatischen Laesionen zu einer spezifischen Tumorart der radiologischen Technik ueberlegen. Daraus ergibt sich folgende Stufendiagnostik bildgebender Verfahren: Intrahepatische Laesionen kleiner als 1 cm im Durchmesser sollten im Ultraschall kontrolliert werden. Groessere Laesionen oder Raumforderungen bei Patienten mit bekanntem Malignom sollten zuerst mit nuklearmedizinischen Methoden untersucht werden, welche in den meisten Faellen bereits eine eindeutige Tumordifferenzierung ermoeglichen.

[en] Myocardial imaging with Tl-201 was established in the late seventies as a reliable non-invasive technique. This is true especially for the ascertainment of the diagnosis of coronary heart disease, localisation of myocardial infarction and the assessment of vitality after myocardial infarction. In addition, the course of the disease after surgical and pharmacological interventions may be documented. (orig.)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Radionuclide ventriculography (RVG) is of great value in noninvasive diagnosis of heart diseases. RVG does not reflect morphological but functional processes. This method enables to assess the pathophysiological effects of morphological disorders. The advantages, that may be expected from single photon emission computed tomography for cardiac blood pool imaging are realizable. The method proved to be superior to conventional cardiac blood pool imaging techniques in diagnosis of aneurysms. In determining left ventricular volumes it appears to be a reliable noninvasive method. (orig.)

Die konventionelle Herzbinnenraumszintigraphie (Radionuklid-Ventrikulographie) ist ein wertvolles Instrument in der nichtinvasiven Diagnostik von Herzerkrankungen. Diese Methode gibt funktionelle, nicht morphologische Veraenderungen wieder. Sie erlaubt daher, die pathophysiologischen Auswirkungen von morphologischen Stoerungen zu erfassen. Die Vorteile, die theoretisch von der Anwendung der Emissionscomputertomographie auf die Herzbinnenraumszintigraphie zu erwarten sind, sind realisierbar. Die Methode erweist sich bisher der konventionellen Herzbinnenraumszintigraphie in der Erkennung und Lokalisation von Aneurysmen ueberlegen. In der Bestimmung der linksventrikulaeren Volumina erweist sie sich als eine zuverlaessige nicht invasive Methode. (orig.)Original Title

AbstractAbstract
[en] Indication for scintigraphy of the liver has changed within the past years due to the high standard of sonography. The primary part for evaluation of intrahepatic space-occupying lesions as well as disorders of the biliary system belongs to sonography. By combination, however, of sonographic and nuclear medical procedures - particularly step-by-step nuclear medical examinations - considerable increase of specificity is achieved. In view of the high prognostic and diagnostic importance of exclusion of metastases of the liver in tumor patients, both methods ought to be used for this problem, as undoubtedly increase of sensitivity is obtained by combination of both of them. Further development in regard to tumor - marking radiopharmaceuticals however, seems to signalize change in value of both methods; as an example scintigraphy using 131J-MIBG in diagnosis of Phaeochromocytoma may be cited. (orig.)
[de]
Durch den hohen Stand der Sonographie hat sich die Indikation zur Leberszintigraphie in den letzten Jahren gewandelt; die primaere Rolle sowohl bei der Abklaerung intrahepatischer Raumforderungen als auch bei Erkrankungen des Gallenwegssystems kommt heute der Sonographie zu. Durch die Kombination von Sonographie und nuklearmedizinischen Verfahren - insbesondere in Form einer nuklearmedizinischen Mehrstufendiagnostik - ist jedoch eine erhebliche Steigerung vor allem der Spezifitaet zu erzielen. Da bei Tumorpatienten besonders der Ausschluss von Lebermetastasen prognostisch und therapeutisch einen erheblichen Stellenwert besitzt, sollten bei dieser Frage beide Methoden zur Anwendung gelangen, da eine Steigerung der Sensitivitaet durch die Kombination beider Verfahren zweifelsfrei gegeben ist. Weitere Entwicklungen im Hinblick auf tumormarkierende Radiopharmaka lassen allerdings Veraenderungen in der Wertigkeit beider Methoden erwarten; als Beispiel hierfuer sei besonders die Szintigraphie mit 131J-MIBG in der Diagnostik der Phaeochromozytoms angefuehrt.

AbstractAbstract
[en] The purpose of this study was to examine whether an increased heart rate and the resultant enhanced myocardial oxygen consumption in patients with VVI pacemakers are reflected in changes of myocardial Tl-201 uptake. In addition, we wanted to examine the direct action of the angiotensin II receptor blocker Saralasin on the myocardial Tl-201 distribution at increased pacing rates. We examined 13 unselected patients with transvenous VVI pacemakers. Fifteen minutes after increasing the pacing rate from 60/min. to 140/min (HR stress) we injected Tl-201, 2 mCi. After another 3 minutes camera images were obtained in the 300 LAO, 450 LAO, AP and LL views. In 6 patients (group I) Saralasin, 1g/kg/min. was injected at high pacing rates and additional myocardial images were recorded. Three hours after reducing the pacing rate to baseline resting scans were made. Of the 7 patients without Saralasin (group II), 4 showed areas of reduced uptake during the HR stress period, which were no longer demonstrable on the resting image. In 3 patients both the stress and the resting images were normal. In 5 patients of group I the rate-related areas of reduced uptake disappeared on Saralasin infusion inspite of the sustained HR stress. The scans were largely identical with the resting image. Three patients showed unchanged segmental defects throughout. At increased pacing rates and elevated myocardial oxygen consumption reversible uptake deficits were demonstrated. In these tachycardiainduced lesions, Saralasin was found to enhance the Thallium uptake. (Author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] There is some controversy whether or not nitroglycerin improves blood flow to the ischemic myocardial zone. One aspect of the study was to determine the effect of nitroglycerin on thallium-201 distribution in patients with myocardial infarction. The results suggest that nitroglycerin may improve blood flow to an ischemic zone and that thallium-201 myocardial imaging (TMI) before. and after nitroglycerin may thus indicate viability of the myocardium. It needs further investigation to prove whether this myocardial tissue may profit from bypass graft surgery. Second aspect of the study was to find a pharmacological tool to detect viable myocardium inside or around TMI defects

AbstractAbstract
[en] Fifteen patients with cerebral tumours (CTU) and 36 patients with cerebrovascular disease (CVD) were subjected to nuclear medical examinations using 123I-amphetamine (IMP). The results of planar scintigraphy were evaluated in comparison to those obtained with the Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography (SPECT)-technique, which, in turn, were compared with those of Transmission Computerized Tomography (TCT). In addition, the phenomenon of diaschisis cerebellaris was studied in patients with a primary lesion in the precentral contralateral cortex. SPECT clearly proved superior to planar scintigraphy in detecting both cerebral tumours and cerebrovascular lesions. According to the results obtained in our group of patients with cerebral tumours, 123I-IMP-SPECT offers no major diagnostic advantages in comparison to TCT. In patients with CVD, IMP-SPECT proved superior to TCT with regard to both detection of cerebral tumours and localization of areas affected by transitory ischaemia. Similar advantages of IMP-SPECT were also found in the diagnosis and localization of cerebral insults. Positive diaschisis cerebellaris was able to be detected in 5 out of 8 CTU-patients, and in 16 out of 17 CVD-patients. 123I-IMP, as a metabolically active substance, seems to be particularly suited for diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease. These tests should, however, always be carried out with the SPECT technique. (orig.)

Es wurden 15 Patienten mit zerebralen Tumoren (CTU) sowie 36 Patienten mit zerebrovaskulaeren Erkrankungen (CVD) nuklearmedizinisch mit J-123-Amphetamin (IMP) untersucht. Dabei wurden einerseits die Ergebnisse der planaren Szintigraphie mit denen der Single-Photon-Emissions-Computered-Tomography (SPECT)-Technik, andererseits die Ergebnisse der SPECT-Studie mit denen der Transmissions-Computered-Tomography (TCT) verglichen. Des weiteren wurde das Phaenomen einer Diaschisis cerebellaris bei Patienten untersucht, bei denen eine Primaerlaesion im praezentralen-kontralateralen Kortex vorlag. Dabei war SPECT der planaren Szintigraphie sowohl bei der Erkennung zerebraler Tumoren als auch zerebrovaskulaerer Laesionen deutlich ueberlegen. In der Diagnostik zerebraler Tumoren bietet J-123-IMP-SPECT nach unseren Ergebnissen keinen wesentlichen Vorteil gegenueber TCT. Bei CVD-Patienten stellte sich heraus, dass IMP-SPECT im Nachweis und in der Lokalisation transitorisch-ischaemischer Ereignisse der TCT ueberlegen ist; aehnliche Vorteile bietet IMP-SPECT in der Diagnostik und Lokalisation zerebraler Insulte. Der Nachweis einer positiven Diaschisis cerebellaris gelang bei 5 von 8 CTU-Patienten und bei 16 von 17 CBD-Patienten. J-123-IMP als stoffwechselaktive Substanz erscheint uns insbesonders zur Diagnostik zerebrovaskulaerer Erkrankungen sehr geeignet. Jedoch sollte die Untersuchung hierzu stets in der SPECT-Technik durchgefuehrt werden. (orig.)Original Title

AbstractAbstract
[en] GASPECT was previously established by our group in phantom studies and in studies comparative with RVG and angiocardiography. In 11 patients with external pacemakers, GASPECT was now compared with RVG, 2D-Echo and thermodilution at average heart rates of 64 +- 11 and 143 +- 8. EF measured by GASPECT correlated well with RVG (r=.68, p<0.01). Stroke volumes determined by GASPECT correlated satisfactory with 2D-Echo (r=0.6, p<0.05) and excellent with thermodilution (r=0.01, p<0.01). Enddiastolic volumes determined by GASPECT correlated well with 2D-Echo (r=0.86, p<0.01) while endsystolic volumes correlation between both methods was poor (r=.58, p<0.05). This was probably due to a failure of 2D-Echo since stroke volumes by 2D-Echo correlated less closely (r=0.75, p<0.05) with thermodilution than GASPECT. These results suggest that GASPECT is a reliable non-invasive method in measuring stroke volume and left ventricular volumes at different heart rates. (Author)
