TI-201 Uptake in Pulmonary Mycobacterium Avium Complex Infection

Radionuclides in Pulmonary and Extra-Pulmonary Tuberculosis

“…20lTI was first used for this purpose following incidental imaging of active pulmonary tuberculosis on cardiac studies (Lee et al 1994;Burke 1995) and observation of diffusely increased accumulation in miliary tuberculosis (Abdel-Dayem et al1995). The uptake of tracer in an infected area is variable immediately after injection (Lee et al 1994), but a high lesion to normal tissue ratio is normally obtained at 15 min (Utsunomiya et al 1997).…”
