Background/aim: 123I-FP-CIT brain single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), DaTSCAN imaging, offers a possibility to study structural and biochemical integrity of presinaptic dopaminergic neurotransmitter system. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of 123I-FP-CIT brain SPECT scintigraphy in patients with extrapyramidal diseases.
Methods: Fifteen patients (8 males and 7 females), aged 26-81 years, presenting with extrapyramidal symptoms entered the study.
Introduction: Activation of haemostasis during physical stress or during myocardial ischemia could be an important mechanism to trigger coronary and stent thrombosis. We examined changes in haemostatic parameters and its association with myocardial ischemia during adenosine-exercise-SPECT (adeno-EX) stress test in coronary patients at least 4 months after coronary stenting.
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine relationship between changes in haemostatic parameters and stress induced myocardial ischemia quantified by perfusion scintigraphy in stented coronary patients.
Background/aim: Autologous bone-marrow-derived intra= coronary injection of mononuclear cells (MNC) modestly improved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the selected patients after acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Major determinants of stem cell therapy outcome in the subacute phase of STEMI still remain unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine modifying factors for the outcome of stem cell therapy after STEMI.

Methods: Data of 118 children who underwent micturating cystourethrography (MCU) and late Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan were evaluated. Findings were categorized under the image appearance and relative kidney uptake (RKU) and related to the grade of VUR, sex and child's age.
