SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection is a current public health problem that has been shown to cause multiple complications, including pulmonary thromboembolism. The first presented case is a 59-year-old woman with a history of COPD, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and COVID-19 infection in September 2020, consultation in December 2020 for atypical chest pain with suspected PE, AngioCT of pulmonary vessels was performed negative for emboli, subsequently [ 99m Tc]Tc MAA SPECT/CT was indicated with a report of multiple triangular defects concerning acute pulmonary thromboembolism. A second case is a 70-year-old man with a history of dyslipidaemia, presented COVID-19 infection in September 2020 with a complication of PE with involvement of the left pulmonary artery, followed by [ 99m Tc]Tc MAA SPECT/CT report multiple triangular and not triangles defects concerning pulmonary thromboembolism with signs of reperfusion.
Hyperparathyroidism is a common calcium metabolic disorder, characterized by the presence of high concentrations or inappropriately normal concentrations of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the context of high calcium. Pharmacological and surgical management is available as treatment. The objective of diagnostic imaging is to determine the location of the causal lesion. For these purposes, non-invasive methods can be divided into anatomical or functional studies, with nuclear medicine studies being in the latter category. The objective of this review, is to establish the similarities and differences that exist in the clinical practice guidelines on conventional and molecular nuclear medicine studies in parathyroid disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
