Tumeur neuroendocrinienneLes tumeurs neuroendocriniennes ou tumeurs neuroendocrines (TNE) sont des tumeurs (néoplasmes) qui se forment à partir d'un développement désordonné de cellules du système endocrine (hormonal) et du système nerveux. Ces tumeurs particulières sont le plus souvent bénignes, mais quelques-unes sont malignes et peuvent facilement métastaser. La plupart se forment dans l'intestin et le poumon, mais on en trouve ailleurs dans le corps, sur les organes ayant des fonctions de glandes ou voisin ( pénis, voisin du testicule).
Functional imagingFunctional imaging (or physiological imaging) is a medical imaging technique of detecting or measuring changes in metabolism, blood flow, regional chemical composition, and absorption. As opposed to structural imaging, functional imaging centers on revealing physiological activities within a certain tissue or organ by employing medical image modalities that very often use tracers or probes to reflect spatial distribution of them within the body. These tracers are often analogous to some chemical compounds, like glucose, within the body.
Sestamibi parathyroid scanA sestamibi parathyroid scan is a procedure in nuclear medicine which is performed to localize parathyroid adenoma, which causes Hyperparathyroidism. Adequate localization of parathyroid adenoma allows the surgeon to use a minimally invasive surgical approach. Tc99m-sestamibi is absorbed faster by a hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland than by a normal parathyroid gland. This is dependent on several histologic features within the abnormal parathyroid gland itself.
Technetium (99mTc) sestamibiDISPLAYTITLE:Technetium (99mTc) sestamibi Technetium (99mTc) sestamibi (INN) (commonly sestamibi; USP: technetium Tc 99m sestamibi; trade name Cardiolite) is a pharmaceutical agent used in nuclear medicine imaging. The drug is a coordination complex consisting of the radioisotope technetium-99m bound to six (sesta=6) methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) ligands. The anion is not defined. The generic drug became available late September 2008. A scan of a patient using MIBI is commonly known as a "MIBI scan".
Pertechnétatevignette|Structure de l'anion pertechnétate. L'anion pertechnétate est un oxyanion de formule chimique . Il est souvent employé comme source soluble d'isotope radioactif de technétium, notamment le , couramment utilisé dans diverses applications de médecine nucléaire. Un technétate() est un composé chimique contenant cet anion. Il s'agit de sels de l'acide pertechnétique . Il est semblable au permanganate mais avec un pouvoir oxydant plus faible ; il est cependant plus oxydant que le .
