    Notes: Abstract During the last 2 years, eight patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who were suspected of having distant metastases have been studied to determine whether a new biliary agent, 99mTc-Sn-N-pyridoxyl-5-methyltryptophan (99mTc-PMT), is taken up by extrahepatic tumors. In all eight patients, scintigrams showed a clearly increased uptake of 99mTc-PMT radioactivity by the extrahepatic tumors. In contrast, an increased uptake by the tumors of gallium citrate Ga 67 was only detected in four of the seven patients examined. The results obtained in this study suggest that 99mTc-PMT is useful both for characterizing the nature of extrahepatic tumors in patients with hepatoma and for detecting the metastases.

    Notes: Abstract Images were obtained both with a biliary agent, 99mTc-Sn-N-pyridoxyl-5-methyltryptophan (99mTc-PMT), and with 67Ga-citrate in 40 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma and in 43 cases of other hepatic diseases and results were compared. Positive results were obtained by delayed 99mTc-PMT imaging in 25 (63%) of 40 cases of hepatoma: the hepatic tumor showed increased uptake in 18 cases (45%) and equilibrated uptake in 7 cases (18%). Positive 67Ga-citrate imaging was found in 28 (70%) of the 40 cases of hepatoma: increased uptake was seen in 24 cases (60%) and equilibrated uptake in 4 cases (10%). Of 15 cases of hepatoma giving negative results in the 99mTc-PMT study, 7 cases (47%) took up 67Ga-citrate, and 6 of these showed increased 67Ga-citrate uptake by the hepatic tumors. A certain relation existed between the degree of histological differentiation of hepatomas and the intensity of 99mTc-PMT uptake by those tumors, while such a histological correlation was denied for 67Ga-citrate uptake by the tumors. Delayed 99mTc-PMT imaging is preferable to 67Ga-citrate imaging for increasing the specificity of diagnosis of hepatoma. 67Ga-citrate should be used in those cases that do not give positive results with 99mTc-PMT.

    Notes: Abstract A mixture consisting of completely interfering and non-interfering beams, or completely interfering and partly interfering beams in an X-ray interferometer is studied. X-ray interferometric experiments on the mixture of blocked/non-blocked beams and attenuated/non-attenuated beams showed good agreements with the calculations. A new parameter of the mixing ratio as well as the phase difference of the oscillations are introduced in the representation of the wave field. Poincaré sphere descriptions are also presented.
