The added value of SPECT/CT in the evaluation of equivocal skeletal lesions in patients with known malignant disease

Ndlovu, Xolani (Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-03)

ENGLISH SUMMARY: Introduction: Bone scintigraphy is used extensively in evaluating metastatic disease. There are currently no clear recommendations for the use of SPECT/CT in metastatic bone disease. Existing procedural ...
Brain SPECT in patients with neuropsychiatric SLE : the additional value of semi-quantitative analysis

Khider, Mohamed Abdelrahman (Stellenbosch : University Stellenbosch, 2009-12)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Introduction: There is conflicting data on the value of single photon emission tomography (SPECT) for the diagnosis of neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE). Visual assessment of brain SPECT scans is the standard ...
Optimal utilization of gamma camera time in Tc-99m MDP bone scintigraphy

Jawa, Zabah Muhammad (Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2007-03)

Introduction: Whole body bone scintigraphy with Tc-99m MDP is able to provide a survey of the entire skeleton. The question arises if it is mandatory to perform a whole body bone scan in all patients, irrespective of the ...
Preparation of a 5-HT2 selective receptor antagonist, 123I-5-I-R91150, for use in psychiatric disorders

Mokaleng, Botshelo Brenda (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2010-03)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Radiolabelled compounds have been widely used as investigative tools for psychiatric disorders using positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission tomography (SPECT) of the brain. In ...
Pulmonary embolism diagnosis : a clinical comparison between conventional planar and SPECT V/Q imaging using Krypton 81m – with CTPA as the gold standard

Ngoya, Patrick Sitati (Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-03)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with a superior contrast resolution has been shown to be more sensitive and specific with a lower nondiagnostic rate than planar imaging in many nuclear ...
Radiation dose reduction in diagnostic neonatal x-ray imaging

Groenewald, Annemari (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013-03)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Introduction - X-ray imaging is used to diagnose and follow up various conditions in neonates (i.e. pre-term babies and babies up to the age of 28 days). Chest anterior-posterior (AP) radiographs are used ...
Response to radioiodine in male hyperthyroid patients at Tygerberg Hospital

Onimode, Yetunde Ajoke (Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2009-03)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Radioiodine therapy is reputed to yield poorer results in male patients than in females. We retrospectively reviewed the records of 308 patients treated with radioiodine-131 (RAI) for Graves’ disease ...
Variation in radiosensitivities of different individuals to high energy neutrons and 60Cobalt γ-rays

Beukes, Philip Rudolph (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background: The assignment of radiation weighting factors to high energy neutron sources is important as there is reason to believe that neutron relative biological effectiveness (RBE) may be related ...
