ABSTRACT

La medicina nuclear utiliza radiofármacos, conocidos como radiotrazadores, para evaluar la función y el metabolismo de órganos y sistemas del cuerpo. Objetivo. Examinar la relevancia de los radiotrazadores MDP, DTPA y MIBI, marcados con tecnecio-99m (Tc99m), en el diagnóstico en medicina nuclear. Metodología. Se siguió el método PRISMA para identificar estudios publicados entre 2010 y 2022. Las bases de datos consultadas incluyeron Dialnet, Elsevier, Research, Redalyc, PubMed, Google Académico y Scielo. Se utilizaron descriptores específicos como "radiotrazadores Tc99m", "MDP", "DTPA", "MIBI", y "medicina nuclear", centrando la búsqueda en diagnóstico y excluyendo propósitos terapéuticos. Resultados. De 14 estudios analizados, se observó una predominancia en investigaciones sobre radiotrazadores MDP y MIBI marcados con Tc99m, enfocándose en diagnósticos relacionados con lesiones paratiroideas, hiperparatiroidismo, enfermedades esqueléticas, enfermedad arterial coronaria y perfusión miocárdica. Conclusiones. Los radiotrazadores MDP, DTPA y MIBI marcados con Tc99m demuestran eficacia en diversas aplicaciones diagnósticas, incluyendo la localización de adenomas paratiroideos y la detección de condiciones como el mieloma múltiple. A pesar de sus beneficios, es crucial continuar investigando y desarrollando nuevos radiofármacos para expandir su utilidad clínica y mejorar aún más la atención médica en el campo de la medicina nuclear.


Nuclear medicine uses radiopharmaceuticals, known as radiotracers, to assess the function and metabolism of organs and body systems. Objective. To examine the relevance of technetium-99m (Tc99m)-labeled MDP, DTPA, and MIBI radiotracers in nuclear medicine diagnostics. Methodology. The PRISMA method was followed to identify studies published between 2010 and 2022. The databases consulted included Dialnet, Elsevier, Research, Redalyc, PubMed, Google Scholar and Scielo. Specific descriptors such as "Tc99m radiotracers", "MDP", "DTPA", "MIBI", and "nuclear medicine" were used, focusing the search on diagnosis and excluding therapeutic purposes. Results. Of 14 studies analyzed, there was a predominance of research on Tc99m-labeled MDP and MIBI radiotracers, focusing on diagnoses related to parathyroid lesions, hyperparathyroidism, skeletal diseases, coronary artery disease, and myocardial perfusion. Conclusions. Tc99m-labeled MDP, DTPA, and MIBI radiotracers demonstrate efficacy in a variety of diagnostic applications, including localization of parathyroid adenomas and detection of conditions such as multiple myeloma. Despite their benefits, it is crucial to continue researching and developing new radiopharmaceuticals to expand their clinical utility and further improve medical care in the field of nuclear medicine.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Este estudo objetiva apresentar sete casos de necrose avascular de sesamoide e relatar o papel da cintilografia óssea no diagnóstico desses pacientes. MÉTODOS: Sete pacientes com suspeita clínica de necrose avascular de sesamoide submetidos a cintilografia óssea trifásica com 30mCi de MDP-99mTc. RESULTADOS: A maioria dos pacientes eram adultos jovens, do sexo feminino, com queixas de dor limitante em antepé, que faziam uso de calçados inadequados e/ou apresentavam relato de trauma associado ou não à fratura. Não houve predileção por um dos pés ou entre sesamoides tibial ou femoral. Dois (28,57%) pacientes apresentavam sesamoides tibiais bipartidos e um (14,29%) apresentava bipartição de sesamoides tibial e fibular. Em 100% dos pacientes a cintilografia óssea trifásica, associada a outros métodos propedêuticos, mostrou-se fundamental para o diagnóstico. A conduta inicial em todos os casos foi conservadora. Nos quatro casos (57,14%) em que não houve remissão dos sintomas, excisão cirúrgica do tecido sesamoideo necrotizado foi realizada. Em todos os pacientes a terapia utilizada se mostrou eficaz, havendo completa remissão dos sintomas sem complicações ou deformidades do antepé. CONCLUSÕES: A cintilografia óssea trifásica torna-se angular na propedêutica da necrose avascular do sesamoide, concorrendo com diagnóstico precoce acurado e permitindo ao especialista tratamento adequado.


OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to present seven cases of avascular necrosis of the sesamoid end report the role of bone scintigraphy in the diagnosis of these patients. METHODS: Seven patients with clinical suspicion of avascular necrosis of the sesamoid underwent three-phase bone scintigraphy with 30 mCi of 99mTc-MDP. RESULTS: Most of the patients were young female adults with complaints of limiting pain in the forefoot, who were making use of inappropriate footwear and/or had a history of injury with or without fracture. There was no predominance of either of the feet or between the femoral or tibial sesamoid. Two patients (28.57%) had a bipartite tibial sesamoid and one (14.29%) had splitting of the tibial and fibular sesamoids. In 100% of the patients, three-phase bone scintigraphy, combined with other propaedeutic methods, proved to be crucial for the diagnosis. The initial procedure in all cases was conservative. In four cases (57.14%), there was no remission of symptoms, and surgical excision of the necrotized sesamoid tissue was performed. In all the patients, the therapy used was effective, with complete remission of symptoms, without complications or deformities of the forefoot. CONCLUSIONS: Three-phase bone scintigraphy becomes a cornerstone of the propaedeutics when avascular necrosis of the sesamoid is suspected, through contributing towards early and accurate diagnosis and enabling allowing appropriate specialized treatment.

ABSTRACT

CONTEXT: Non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLCs) of the superior sulcus are considered to be the most challenging type of malignant thoracic disease. In this disease, neoplasms originating mostly from the extreme apex of the lung expand to the chest wall and thoracic inlet structures. Multiple imaging procedures have been applied to identify tumors and to stage and predict tumor resectability in surgical operations. Clinical examinations to localize pain complaints in shoulders and down the arms, and to screen for Horner's syndrome and abnormalities seen in paraclinical assessments, have been applied extensively for differential diagnosis of superior sulcus tumors. Although several types of imaging have been utilized for diagnosing and staging Pancoast tumors, there have been almost no reports on the efficiency of whole-body bone scans (WBBS) for detecting the level of abnormality in cases of superior sulcus tumors. CASE REPORT: We describe a case of Pancoast tumor in which technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (Tc-99m MDP) bone single-photon emission-computed tomography (SPECT) was able to accurately detect multiple areas of abnormality in the vertebrae and ribs. In describing this case, we stress the clinical and diagnostic points, in the hope of stimulating a higher degree of suspicion and thereby facilitating appropriate diagnosis and treatment. From the results of this study, further clinical trials to evaluate the potential of SPECT as an efficient imaging tool for the work-up on cases of Pancoast tumor are recommended.


CONTEXTO: Carcinomas pulmonares de células não pequenas (NSCLCs) do sulco superior são considerados como o maior desafio nos tumores malignos torácicos. Nesta doença, as neoplasias se originam principalmente do ápice do pulmão e se expandem pela parede e pelas estruturas torácicas. Diversas técnicas de imagem têm sido utilizadas para identificar e estagiar os tumores, permitindo um prognóstico para a sua ressecção em procedimentos cirúrgicos. O exame clínico tem sido bastante usado para diagnóstico diferencial de tumores do sulco superior nas queixas de dores no ombro, síndrome de Horner e anormalidades observadas em exames paraclínicos. Embora diversos tipos de exames de imagem sejam utilizados para diagnóstico e estadiamento de tumores de Pancoast, praticamente não existem relatos sobre a eficácia do exame ósseo do corpo todo (WBBS) na detecção do nível de anormalidade em casos de tumores do sulco superior. RELATO DE CASO: Descrevemos um caso de tumor de Pancoast, em que foi realizada a tomografia computadorizada óssea por emissão de fóton único (SPECT) com metileno difosfonato de tecnécio-99 (Tc-99m MDP). Este exame foi capaz de detectar com acurácia as múltiplas áreas de anormalidade em vértebras e costelas. Ao descrever este caso, os autores ressaltam os pontos clínicos e diagnósticos, esperando estimular maior grau de suspeita, facilitando assim o diagnóstico e tratamento apropriados. A partir dos resultados deste trabalho, outros estudos clínicos podem avaliar o potencial do SPECT como uma ferramenta eficiente de imagem a ser recomendada na investigação de casos de tumor de Pancoast.
