    Notes: Summary Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) imaging is a well-established method for locating intra-and extraadrenal pheochromocytomas. We investigated whether preoperative injection of 123-I-MIBG might be useful for intraoperative staging of chromaffine tumor cells. This was performed in a 46-year-old patient in whom the diagnosis of a malignant pheochromocytoma had been established by 123-I-MIBG imaging and enhanced catecholamine secretion. The rationale for intraoperative staging in this patient was a discrepancy between computed tomography (CI) of the abdomen and the radionuclide imaging, because scintigraphy revealed a mass with MIBG uptake in the right lower abdomen that could not be visualized by CT. We thus applied a preoperative dose of 4 mCi 123-I-MIBG and determined tissue activity by direct organ measurement. A right abdominal mass was thus identified with an activity of 10×104 impulses/s as compared to normal tissue (15×102). The left-sided tumor was found to be identified correctly by prior CT and MIBG imaging. We thus conclude that intraoperative application of this single probe measurement might help to identify chromaffine tumor cells that have not been located fully by CT.

    Notes: Summary In a retrospective study of 31 patients with suspected pheochromocytoma we examined the preoperative results of131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (131-I-MIBG) scintigraphy and a fluorimetric urine catecholamine determination test. An additional radioenzymatic plasma catecholamine determination test was performed in 25 patients. In 14 of the 31 patients the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma was later histologically confirmed. In the remaining 17 patients the suspected diagnosis was finally rejected after a clinical decision had been made on the basis of clinical history, symptoms, laboratory and imaging tests. 131-I-MIBG scintigraphy apparently had a very high specificity (no false-positive results among the patients with rejected diagnosis), but showed the least sensitivity (3 of 14 tumours were not detected). Urine cate-cholamines showed two false-negative and three false-positive results. Plasma catecholamines had the highest sensitivity and gave only one false-positive result. Because of its high pathognomonic value 131-MIBG scintigraphy can be helpful not only for localization, but also for confirmation of diagnosis when catecholamine determination tests are contradictory. On the basis of our experience with false-positive results after interfering medication therapy, urine and plasma catecholamine determination tests should only be carried out after purification with thin layer chromatography or high performance liquid chromatography.

    Notes: Abstract Thirty-three neonates and infants with cholestatic syndromes of various etiologies were evaluated by cholescintigraphy and ultrasound examinations. The results of these two diagnostic procedures were compared with the final diagnosis as confirmed by liver biopsy and/or laparotomy and the clinica follow-up of the infants. Fourteen patients had an obstructive cholangiopathy (11 biliary atresia, 2 choledochal cysts, 1 congenital choledochal stenosis), 13 had neonatal hepatitis, and 6 had cholestasis of another etiology. Typical ultrasonic and/or scintigraphic findings confirmed or excluded the need for surgical exploration in 28 patients. Thus, for must infants with cholestatic syndromes it is possible to differentiate the cause without invasive diagnostic techniques such as liver biopsy or exploratory laparotomy.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Im Kopf-Halsbereich stellt die szintigraphische Erfassung maligner Tumoren und deren Metastasen eine gute Bereicherung der diagnostischen Möglichkeiten dar. Zur Untersuchung eignen sich solche Substanzen, die eine hohe Tomoraffinität besitzen und sich gut radioaktiv markieren lassen. Aus diesem Grund wurde für die vorliegenden Untersuchungen das Zytostatikum Bleomycin benutzt und mit57Cobalt markiert. Die szintigraphische Untersuchung erfolgte 4–6 Std nach intravenöser Applikation von 1 mCi57Co-Bleomycin mit Hilfe der Gamma-Kamera. 60 Patienten mit verschiedenen neoplastischen Erkrankungen wurden untersucht, 46 hatten tumoröse Veränderungen im Kopf-Hals-Bereich, die übrigen im Thorax-Abdomen. Von den unbehandelten Kopf-Hals-Malignomen konnten 34 (85%) szintigraphisch nachgewiesen werden; 21 (81%) waren epithelialen und 13 (69%) mesenchymalen Ursprungs. Die Möglichkeiten der Untersuchungsmethode werden dargestellt; ihre klinische Bedeutung besteht im Nachweis von Primärtumoren und deren Metastasen, von Rezidiven und Tumorresten sowie in der Lokalisationsdiagnostik von Fernmetastasen.
    Notes: Summary Tumorscanning of malignomas and their metastatic nodules in head and neck is an enrichment of diagnostic possibilities. For the examination such substances can be used, which are tumoraffine and well to mark with a radio-isotope. Therefore we have marked the cytostatic drug Bleomycine with57Co. Scans were performed with the Anger-Camera 4 to 6 hrs after intravenous injection of 1 mCi57Co-Bleomycine. 60 patients with different malignomas have been examined, 46 with tumor-localization in head and neck, the others in thoraxabdomen. 34 (85%) of the head and neck malignomas could be demonstrated; 21 (81%) were squamous cell carcinomas, 13 (69%) sarcomas. The possibilities of this method are shown; its clinical importance lies in the identification of primary tumors and their metastatic nodules, of relapses and tumorrests as well as the localization of distant metastasises.

    Notes: Abstract The activity concentrations of 99mTc-HMPAO in brain after intravenous injection were evaluated in 25 patients using SPECT. With additional first pass studies of heart and brain with the short lived isotope 195mAu, the cardiac output and the mean cerebral transit times of the patients were measured a short time before the HMPAO injection. The time dependence of 99mTc-HMPAO activity in the brain was registered during the first 5 min after injection over both hemispheres. Using a simplified three compartment model it was possible to calculate the mean retention fraction of HMPAO in brain from the time activity curves. It could be shown that the regional cerebral blood flow in ml/min per 100 g can be calculated from the activity concentration of HMPAO in the brain, the cardiac output and the retention fraction. In 15 of the 25 cases the rCBF was measured using the planar 133Xe inhalation method as a reference. We found a significant correlation between the mean hemisphere CBF from our method and the mean hemisphere grey matter CBF from the Xenon method with a correlation coefficient of 0.73.

    Notes: Summary The scanning of tumors and their metastasises today means an enrichment of diagnostic possibilities—especially in the head and neck area. So far various radiopharmaceuticals have been used for this examination but the results have only been good with a few of them. We habe marked the cytostatic drug Bleomycine with radioactive 57Co to get a high tumor-specific concentration. On a great number of patients own experiences with the scintigraphic diagnostic for localization using this radiopharmaceutical are reported. Over 85% of the squamous cell carcinomas and over 70% of the sarcomas of head and neck can be demonstrated. The possibilities of this examination, the clinical importance and indication for therapy is shown and discussed on the own cases.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei Hausschweinen wurden 2/3-Magenresektionen mit erhaltener sowie ausgeschalteter Duodenalpassage durchgeführt, die Magenentleerung szintigraphisch über 4 h gemessen und einer Vergleichsgruppe nichtresezierter Tiere gegenübergestellt. Für die halbfeste, mit 99mTc markierte Testmahlzeit fanden sich experimentell keine Hinweise für eine verzögerte Magenentleerung nach Ausschaltung der Duodenalpassage durch Roux-Rekonstruktion. B-I- and B-II-Roux-Resektion differierten in der Magenentleerung nicht. Die Längenänderung der bei der Roux-Rekonstruktion verwendeten Jejunumschlinge von 40 auf 20 cm hatte keinen Einfluß auf die Magenentleerung. Die Roux-Rekonstruktion mit trunkulärer Vagotomie führte — bei jedoch großer individueller Streubreite — im Vergleich zur B–I-Resektion zu einer Beschleunigung der Magenentleerung. Die mittlere Restaktivität im Magen betrug nach 240 min für die Kontrollgruppe (n=5) 47,8%, nach B–I-Resektion (n=5) 78,9%, nach Roux-Rekonstruktion mit 40 cm-Schlinge (n=5) 59,0%, nach Roux-Rekonstruktion mit 20 cm-Schlinge (n = 5) 38,1 % and nach Roux-Resektion mit trunkularer Vagotomie (n=4) 20,9%.
    Notes: Summary On domestic pigs 2/3 gastrectomies with retention and elimination of the duodenal passage were carried out. Postprandial gastric emptying was measured scintigraphically for 4 h and compared with a control group (laparotomy only). For the semi-solid, 99mTc-labeled test meal delayed gastric emptying after elimination of the duodenal passage by Roux reconstruction could not be shown. There was no difference in gastric emptying between B-I and Roux-en-Y partial gastrectomy. Also alteration of the length of the jejunum loop from 40 to 20 cm after Roux-en-Y reconstruction had no influence on gastric emptying. Roux reconstruction (40 cm loop) in combination with truncal vagotomy led to a non-uniform gastric emptying, but there was a statistically proven acceleration compared with B-I resection. After 240 min the mean residual intragastric activity of the control group (n=5) was 47.8%, 78.9% after B–I resection (n=5), 59% after Roux reconstruction with 40 cm jejunal loop (n=5), 38.1% after Roux reconstruction with 20 cm jejunal loop (n=5) and 20.9% after Roux-en-Y (40 cm loop) with truncal vagotomy (n = 4).
