I-123 iodoamphetamine (IMP) and Ga-67 scintigraphy of malignant melanoma were performed to compare the accumulation of these tracers regarding tumor diameter to determine the site of I-123 IMP accumulation and to evaluate the use of I-123 IMP and Ga-67 in postoperative follow-up. The studies involved 44 patients with a definite diagnosis of malignant melanoma during a 10-year period from April 1991 through March 2001. In this study a very high detection rate of 90.9% was obtained for primary foci with I-123 IMP. With Ga-67, the primary site detection rate was 25%. The results suggest that I-123 IMP is superior to Ga-67 with respect to the detection rate of primary site.
对恶性黑色素瘤进行了I-123碘安非他明(IMP)和Ga-67闪烁扫描,以比较这些示踪剂在肿瘤直径方面的积聚情况,确定I-123 IMP的积聚部位,并评估I-123 IMP和Ga-67在术后随访中的应用。该研究纳入了1991年4月至2001年3月这10年间确诊为恶性黑色素瘤的44例患者。在本研究中,I-123 IMP对原发性病灶的检测率高达90.9%。使用Ga-67时,原发部位检测率为25%。结果表明,在原发性部位的检测率方面,I-123 IMP优于Ga-67。
