To describe the frequency of head and/or pancreas uncinate process uptake of 99mTc-HYNIC-TOC, to study its nature, and analyze its diagnostic value.
Retrospective evaluation of 47 consecutive 99mTc-HYNIC-TOC examinations was conducted. Head and/or pancreas uncinate process uptake was considered to be physiological in patients with normal CT at the same episode and in follow-up. It was analyzed if age or diabetes mellitus was justifying the existence or not of uptake.
32.5% patients showed uptake; 73% of them were mild. 84.6% patients with uptake have no pathology and 4% had neuroendocrine pancreatic disease at CT. Neither the age nor the diabetes mellitus established differences in patients without lesion.
Near one-third of patients show physiological uptake by head and/or pancreas uncinate process at 99mTc-HYNIC-TOC scintigraphy. It seems that neither the diabetes nor the ages are factors that determine this physiological uptake.
描述99mTc-HYNIC-TOC在头部和/或胰腺钩突摄取的频率,研究其性质,并分析其诊断价值。
对连续47例99mTc-HYNIC-TOC检查进行回顾性评估。在同一时期及随访中,CT正常的患者中,头部和/或胰腺钩突摄取被认为是生理性的。分析年龄或糖尿病是否是摄取存在的合理原因。
32.5%的患者出现摄取;其中73%为轻度摄取。84.6%有摄取的患者无病变,4%在CT检查时有胰腺神经内分泌疾病。在无病变的患者中,年龄和糖尿病均未显示出差异。
在99mTc-HYNIC-TOC闪烁扫描中,近三分之一的患者头部和/或胰腺钩突出现生理性摄取。糖尿病和年龄似乎都不是决定这种生理性摄取的因素。
