We report a case of incidental diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia by parathyroid scintigraphy. A 53-year-old woman who had severe fatigue, and mild dyspnea underwent parathyroid scintigraphy due to increased serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and serum calcium levels. Parathyroid scan was negative for abnormal parathyroid tissue. Although the patient had three negative results of COVID-19 PCR tests, significant 99m Tchexakis-2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile ([99mTc]MIBI) uptake is noticed in both lungs that was suspicious for Covid-19 pneumonia...

A 64 years-old woman with intestinal neuroendocrine tumor (NET) and multiple liver metastases was referred for peptide receptor radioligand therapy (PRRT) with [177Lu]Lu-DOTATATE. A few days after the third cycle of PRRT, erythema and swelling in the injection site is occurred which progressed up to one-month post-therapy. The cutaneous lesion was managed by a plastic surgeon with topical treatment. Amino acid extravasation could have devastating effects and should always be considered in patients who underwent PRRT and who receive amino acids for nephroprotection...

A 2-month-old infant was referred for hepatobiliary scintigraphy due to ascites of unknown cause. The top differential diagnosis was spontaneous perforation of the biliary ducts. Delayed images up to 4 hours were against this diagnosis showing normal distribution of the radiotracer throughout the bowel. However, on delayed images, the scan showed mild tracer retention in the ascites confirmed by SPECT/CT images. Surprisingly, the exploratory abdominal surgery revealed an intact hepatobiliary system, pointing toward other possible etiologies...

BACKGROUND: Lung carcinoma is the most commonly diagnosed cancer throughout the world and is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for up to 80% of newly diagnosed lung cancer cases. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Ki-67 proliferation index (PI) and the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) obtained from [18F]FDG PET/CT in NSCLCs and whether prognosis was predicted with SUVmax values. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This retrospective study included biopsy and resection materials of 41 patients, who were examined in the pathology laboratory of Konya Training and Research Hospital between January 2010 and December 2019, and diagnosed with NSCLC, and whose [18F]FDG PET/CT images were present...

Amyloid transthyretin cardiomyopathy is a progressive disease that confers significant mortality. While it is relatively rare, the frequency of diagnoses has risen with the increased contribution of novel diagnostic approach over the last decade. Traditionally tissue biopsy was considered to be a gold standard for amyloidosis diagnosis. However, there are significant limitations in the wide application of this approach. A noninvasive imaging-based diagnostic algorithm has been substantially developed in recent years...

We present a case of a 65 years-old male with sickle cell mutation and beta-thalassemia (Hb S/β-Thal), who had whole-body bone scan evaluation for osteomyelitis. The examination revealed high radiopharmaceutical uptake in the left abdomen. Further evaluation with hybrid single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) showed calcification of approximately the entire spleen, in the context of sickle cell anemia. This report highlights the role of SPECT/CT in such cases.

We present a case report of incidental detection of breast cancer in a female patient referred for 18F-fluorocholine (FCH) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) due to primary hyperparathyroidism. This imaging method was recently shown as more sensitive for the detection of metabolically hyperactive parathyroid glands than neck ultrasound and (2-metoksyizobutyloizonitryl labeled with technetium-99m) [99mTc]MIBI. Increased accumulation of FCH was found in the hyperactive parathyroid gland and unexpectedly in the right breast lesion...
