JOURNAL FREE ACCESSTo calculate renal uptake of 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) more accurately using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), it is necessary to estimate values of threshold level, which corresponds to the ratio of kidney to background (BG ratio) . Thus the phantom and clinical studies were conducted.
Six kinds of renal phantoms of 80 to 339 ml, contained different radioactivity of 37 to 485 MBq were prepared. These phantoms were placed in a larger body phantom filled with 1 to 50% of radioactivity representing background. Clinical application of this method was also performed.
Results were as follows.
1) A significant correlation between phantom volumes and estimated volumes obtained using threshold level based on BG ratio calculated on tomographic images was found (r=0.99) .
2) A significant correlation between total counts in estimated volumes and radioactivities in phantoms was recognized (r=0.94) .
3) Known radioactivity in phantoms and radioactivity in estimated volumes were highly related (r=0.98) .
4) Clinical application showed valuable results in patients with renal dysfunction.
Thus, this method can calculate more accurate renal uptake of 99mTc-DMSA.View full abstractDownload PDF (4806K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAlveoli in the hilar region comprise the peripheral area containing daughter branches from subsegmental or one more divisional peripheral bronchi. Pulmonary perfusion in hilar region was examined by SPECT (single photon emission CT) in ten normal volunteers. ROI (region of interest) in the axial images were set in the hilar region, the upper, middle and lower lung fields with 10.8 mm thickness. Counts/one pixel (C/P) were calculated in these ROI.
There was a tendency of C/P increase from upper to lower lung field. And there were no significant differences in C/P increase between hilar region and other axial fields.
In the chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, however, ventilation studies in the previous reports using Xe dynamic CT or PET (positron emission tomography) showed differences between outer region and hilar region. This method will be expected to evaluate the pulmonary perfusion not only in the whole lung but in different lung areas, including the hilar region in the chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.View full abstractDownload PDF (5458K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn this study, nine allergens wree selected; i.e. 1289 cases of d1, 1277 cases of e1, 1547 cases of f1, 1063 cases of t17 and others, for investigation the relationship between the total IgE level and RAST score. The results showed that the total IgE level was high in high di score, and 29 cases of low IgE level was observed in high f1 score groups.
On the other hand, the comparison of the CAP system and the total IgE level showed. The result shows that one case of low total IgE value was found in highest dl score group.View full abstractDownload PDF (437K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe accurary of measurement using kits in the clinical laboratories is important for the patient diagnosis and treatment. In the present paper, the AL-18, AIaSTAT, CAP, FAST and RAST methods were investigated and were compared among kits the results obtained with serum sample, for determination of specific IgE antibodies. Significant differences among kits were observed from the results of those methods. One of the reasons, why the data discrepancy exists, is that each kit uses a different reference and a different inclusion method of allergen.
For the evaluation of data discrepancy among those kits, it might be important that the clinical history of symptoms and in vivo tests against the different allergens compared with results of in vivo tests.View full abstractDownload PDF (340K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe have designed a new dust monitor that takes of advantage certain physical relationship that exist between the alpha and beta emissions of the radon and thoron progeny. This dust monitor is able to simultaneously measurement both alpha and beta activity while sampling.The counting efficiencies are 9 % and 14 % respectively. On May 1986, the monitor detected the Chernobyl radioactivity in real time.View full abstractDownload PDF (493K) -
