“…By using 199 Tl, the radiation dose to critical organs is 4-15 times lower than that by using 201 Tl. It allows 199 Tl scintigraphy to be performed 5 times a year for the same patient [8][9][10][11]. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of SPECT with 199 Tl in the detection of breast carcinomas.…”

The purpose of the study: to assess the possibility of using nuclear medicine techniques at the stages of diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Materials and Methods: The study included 290 patients with breast cancer and 70 patients with benign breast tumors. The study was used as a radiopharmaceutical 99m -IBI, 199 l for imaging tumors and colloid 99m -loteh for visualization sentinel lymph nodes (SLN), colloid was injected peritumoral in four points to 80 MBq one day prior to the planned operation. Results: The sensitivity of SPECT using both 99m -IBI and 199 l for breast cancer detection was shown to be rather high, being 98.5% and 98%, respectively. It should be noted that the sensitivity of SPECT in detection of small tumors (less than 1 cm in diameter) and multicentric tumors was not high irrespective of the radioisotope used (60% and 65% with 99m -IBI and 65% and 59% with 199 l, respectively). The difference in the sensitivity was found between 99m -IBI and 199 for the detection of regional lymph node metastasis (91% vs 70%). SLN were detected in 31 patients. The most commonly SLN were defined in the axillary region of 96.7%. In 22 (70.9%) patients there was no metastasis SLN. The sensitivity of the method was 91.2%, specificity of 100%. Conclusion: The specificity of SPECT with 199 l was higher than that with 99m -IBI. The data obtained show that SPECT with 199 l can be recommended for its use as an additional breast cancer detection method in cases when other imaging techniques and histological findings are not accurate enough. The clinical study of 99mloteh, a new radiopharmaceutical agent, has shown that the studied colloid has high uptake level in SLN and can be successfully used for visualization of SLN in patients with breast cancer.

The purpose of the study – to examine the capabilities of the method of digital chest fluorography in diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) of different stages. By chest digital fluorography 247 patients with clinically diagnosed COPD stage I–III were examined. The average age of the patients was (55.3  1.7) years (16 to 88 years), forced expiration volume for the first second (FEV1) was (59.17  16.28) %. It was shown that for patients with COPD stage I most characteristic radiographic symptom was emphysema of the lung in the upper regions (26 (48%) of 54 patients); the mean values of the inspiratory lung optical density (ILOD) ranged from (703.48  2.15) to (807.47  5.61) optical density units (ODU), the expiratory lung optical density (ELOD) – from (786.05  6.15) to (830.23  4.71) ODU. For patients with COPD stage II the most common radiographic sign was the presence of amplification and deformation pulmonary pattern (95 (89%) of 107 patients); the mean values of ILOD ranged from (646.20  4.94) to (791.38  2.81) ODU, ELOD – from (677.34  9.91) to (813.91  3.29) ODU. Patients with COPD stage III were characterized by a combination of amplification and deformation pulmonary pattern (77 (90%) of 86 patients) with lung emphysema (51 (59%) of 86 patients); the mean values of the inspiratory lung optical density ranged from (765.93  16.4) to (863.37  15.83) ODU, expiratory lung optical density – from (826.80  11.64) to (881.37  4.29) ODU. Thus, we concluded that the method of digital chest fluorography, possessing low dose burden to the patient, can detect the characteristic radiological symptoms and determine the stage of the disease up to the values of the lung optical density in patients with COPD.
