18f Fdg Case Study

576 Words3 Pages

Procedure
18F FDG PET CT and 99m Tc MIBI whole body scans are done on 2 consecutive days after obtaining informed consent from the patient and by-stander.
18F FDG Whole body imaging-
8-10 mCi (296-370MBq) of 18 F-Fluro-Deoxy-Glucose (18 F-FDG) was injected, I.V. in euglycemic status. Time of injection was noted along with pre injection and post injection counts. Whole body PT/CT images (head to mid thigh) were acquired after 45min-60min post injection. Oral and IV contrast was given for CT part of the study in patients with normal renal function status. Otherwise, only plain water was used as a neutral oral contrast. Acquisition was done on GE Discovery PET 8 slice CT scanner with patient positioned supine with arms raised above the head. Initially, a breath hold CT of the chest was acquired followed by a head to mid thigh routine contrast enhanced or non-contrast CT. Acquisition was performed by a qualified CT and a nuclear medicine technologist. The total time period for the CT imaging was approximate 5 minutes. The CT acquisition parameters are as follows- Current strength 120 mA, 140 kv voltage, pitch-1.5-1, helical mode …show more content…

Supine-Anterior Posterior static 10 minutes images (128*128 matrix) were acquired in a GE Infinia Hawkeye 4 scanning system using low energy high resolution parallel hole collimator. SPECT CT was done to confirm doubtful lesions. SPECT Acquisition-parameters are as follows- Matrix : 128 * 128; number of projections: 40; view angle : 9 degrees; mode : step and shoot; time : 15 sec/projection; window : Tc99m.
CT acquisition parameters are as follows- current: 2.5 mA; voltage: 140 Kv; total exposure time : 129 seconds; mode : helical; pitch : 1.9; interval : 4.42; Velocity of CT rotation :4.42; matrix : 512*512; filter : bone; slice thickness : 5mm; total slices : 44; CT D/vol :

1. Write a brief introduction about the diagnostic imaging modality. Nuclear medicine is a section of medical imaging that uses radioactive medication known as radiotracers or radiopharmaceutical (Understanding nuclear medicine, 2009). Radiotracers are given to the patient through injection, swallowing or inhalation, which makes the body radioactive for a short time. The radiation is detected by a special camera, and then the image is produced.

In the dulaglutide 1.5 mg change in body weight was from 0.9-3.0 kg and 0.2-2.6 kg for dulaglutide 0.75 mg. 2 One of the study conducted in Hispanic/Latino patients receiving dulaglutide 1.5 and 0.75 mg to see the reduction in HbA1c. Hispanic/Latino patients receiving dulaglutide 1.5 mg had a reduction in HbA1c of 1.25%, and dulaglutide 0.75 mg had a reduction of 1.07%. Dulaglutide improved glycemic control with the potential for weight loss in Hispanic/Latino patients with T2D. Dulaglutide was well tolerated and had a low risk of hypoglycemia when used without insulin secretagogues or insulin.3 Dulaglutide is available as a single-dose automatic self-injecting device, which has a low volume, does not need reconstitution, and avoids patient handling of the needle. No dose adjustment requires based on weight, sex, age,

Comparison And Contrast In Radiology

142 Words | 1 Pages

Radiology is a unit to where patients will get different scans such as x-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), fusion imaging, and ultrasound. Radiologist, on the other hand, is a doctor who is specialized in treating disease and injury through the use of medical imaging. This unit diagnosed hidden injuries, internal bleedings and etc, by doing a scan thoroughly with his body, focusing in his organs and abdomen. Contrast is used to improve the visibility of internal bodily structures. Jamey injected a contrast in the patient’s body that will travel through his bloodstream and lighten up tissue in the body.

Application: 1. Find the area under the standard normal curve between z = 0 and z = 1.65. Answer: The value 1.65 may be written as 1.6 to .05, and by locating 1.6 under the column labeled z in the standard normal distribution table (Appendix 2) and then moving to the right of 1.6 until you come under the .05 column, you find the area .450 . This area is expressed as 2.

Cardiac Ultrasound

486 Words | 2 Pages

Valuable diagnostic information can be obtained from the ability to view bone surfaces. For example, Blankstein observes that fractures can be seen as disruptions in the cortex. Many types of pathology can be identified as cortical irregularities including Hill-Sachs disease, osteolytic lesions, exostoses, and osteophytes. Bone tumors have been evaluated with ultrasound. Ultrasound is particularly advantageous in this case because blood flow to the tumor can be assessed in the same exam using Doppler settings.

Advantages Of Forensic Imaging

1517 Words | 7 Pages

Some advantages of this technique are that there is no radiation involved, it is good at visualizing soft tissue, and that since it can visualize soft tissue so easily it can identify a multitude of different problems. Some disadvantages are that it is time consuming, expensive, and there is extensive training needed to operate it. The last type of imaging technique that will be covered is conventional radiography which can detect foreign bodies and changes or lesions of the skeletal system and is used when the corpse cannot fit into the CT machine. The advantages of this technique are that it is simple, quick, and cost efficient. However, it uses radiation, cannot make three-dimensional reconstructions, has a superimposed image, and it cannot visualize soft tissue
