Objective: The appropriate clinical management of indeterminate small renal masses can be improved based on accurate risk stratification. This study aimed to investigate the impact of renal function on the uptake of technetium-99m ( 99m Tc)-sestamibi, a widely available imaging agent that can be utilized to identify oncocytomas and other benign/indolent renal masses.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, involving 100 consecutive patients who underwent 99m Tc-sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography.

Thyroid nodules are common findings, particularly in iodine-deficient regions. Our paper aims to revise different diagnostic tools available in clinical thyroidology and propose their rational integration. We will elaborate on the pros and cons of thyroid ultrasound (US) and its scoring systems, thyroid scintigraphy, fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), molecular imaging, and artificial intelligence (AI).

MIBI scintigraphy is the most widely used modality to identify parathyroid adenomas preoperatively. However, MIBI is also known to accumulate in multiple benign and malignant lesions. In renal cell carcinoma, 30% of the patients present with distant metastasis, commonly lungs and bone; however, jaw bone metastases are extremely rare (<1% of oral malignancies).

Background: Brown tumors are benign osteoclastic bone lesions encountered in patients with hyperparathyroidism. These tumors may demonstrate aggressive, destructive features in the skeleton and imitate metastatic bone lesions, particularly in patients with known primary neoplasm. In this case report of recurrent papillary thyroid cancer and ectopic parathyroid adenoma, we shed light on the importance of combining different nuclear medicine imaging modalities to differentiate brown tumors from metastatic bone lesions.

Objective: Phase analysis is expected to improve the accuracy of myocardial ischemia diagnosis in conjunction with myocardial perfusion and wall motion imaging and quantification. Although previous studies have reported perfusion image disagreements in relation to radionuclides, a few reports have examined the influences of radionuclides on phase analysis. We evaluated the influences of different radionuclides on stress-induced left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony by phase analysis using electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) (MPS) imaging in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD).
