It is the most widely used isotope in nuclear medicine
It is the daughter-isotope of the most widely used isotope in nuclear medicine
It is the parent-isotope of the most widely used isotope in nuclear medicine
“hot” spots/increased activity
“cold” spots/lack of activity
Presentation depends on the isotope used
Presentation depends on the organ being imaged
Images can only depict blood perfusion to the heart under resting conditions
Computer programs calculate the estimated blood perfusion under stress conditions
The radiopharmaceutical localized in the heart indicative of blood flow at the time of injection
Tl-201
Tc-99m
I-131
Rb-82
It consists of particles that are too large to travel further than the lung capillaries
It is inhaled
It doesn’t localize in the capillaries of the lung
The pharmaceutical has an affinity for lung tissue
They have a short half-life
They are brain specific agents which allows for delayed imaging
They have few side effects which allows for delayed imaging
They have a long half-life which allows for delayed imaging
The glucose component
The fluorine component
The phosphate component
The short half-life
Tumors are hypometabolic and require less fluorine than most normal tissues
Tumors are hypometabolic and require less sugar than most normal tissues
Tumors are hypermetabolic and require more fluorine than most normal tissues
Tumors are hypermetabolic and require more sugar than most normal tissues
By tagging red blood cells with radioactivity
By tagging somatostatin receptors with radioactivity
By tagging white blood cells with radioactivity
By inhaling radioactive gas
Because the brain uses fluorine for energy
Because the brain uses glucose for energy
Because diseased brain tissue requires an excess of glucose
Because diseased brain tissue requires an excess of fluorine
