We report the use of technetium-99m sestamibi (MIBI) in a patient with multiple myeloma (MM) undergoing peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation. MIBI is a radionuclide agent that is preferentially taken up by malignant tumors. Plain radiographs in a MM patient, taken prior to PBSC ...
All patients had a baseline rest and exercise Tc 99m Sestamibi scan and were followed for 13.2 ± 4.9 months (range: 1 to 24 months). Images were correlated with the occurrence of a cardiac event (cardiac death or non-fatal myocardial infarction). In this trial as summarized in Table 7,...
(tɛkˈniːʃɪəm) n (Elements & Compounds) a silvery-grey metallic element, artificially produced by bombardment of molybdenum by deuterons: used to inhibit corrosion in steel. The radioisotopetechnetium-99m, with a half-life of six hours, is used in radiotherapy. Symbol: Tc; ...
(redirected fromTechnetium tc 99m sestamibi) Medical ses·ta·mi·bi (sĕs′tə-mē′bē) n. An injectable drug containing an isotope of the radioactive element technetium, used in nuclear medicine imaging primarily to visualize the heart muscle, parathyroid glands, and breast tissue. ...
In spite of ultrasound, technetium and iodine scan, CT and fine-needle biopsy, the precise origin of the mass remained uncertain. On additional multi-phase sestamibi scan, the neck region showed an early high uptake rapidly decreasing over time in the laterocervical mass, and a persistent ...
Fifteen patients (seven females and eight males; age range 12–68 years) with clinically significant post-fracture RSD were evaluated with both three-phase bone scan (TPBS) and 99m Tc-sestamibi limb scintigraphy. Although, in general, patients with similar duration of disease, clinical stage and...

This study investigated the prognostic value of dobutamine-atropine technetium-99m (Tc-99m) sestamibi singlephoton emission computed tomographic (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging. Background. Dobutamine-atropine Tc-99m sestamibi SPECT imaging is an accurate method for the detection of coronary disease...
